Do you all of a sudden have to use mental resources greater than what you are accustomed to to do the work on this kind of piano, or are you purposely trying to make the poor owner of the piano pay more because she made an unwise diecision to have the instrument worked on by you? This, I think, is an ethical question we all need to consider. (see the PTG-l page for more on this topic). Willem Blees RPT St. Louis
