Warranty

[David ilvedson]

I am selling a Kawai 6"6" grand, about 18 years old and have 
agreed to a one year warranty on the soundboard, bridges, plate 
and pinblock.  The piano is in excellent condition with no 
problems in any of those areas.  My problem is how to write it 
up in the bill of sale...Is this a can of worms.  I live in the 
San Francisco area which is very stable and I have little worry 
about this warranty still...At present I am stating in the bill 
of sale that the soundboard warranty is for cracks only which 
can be proved with the insertion of a thin probe into the crack. 
I don't want a cosmetic crack coming back to haunt me...Is there 
such a thing as a surface crack?  Will it in time open up even 
in San Francisco.  The bridge warranty is for cracks that can be 
proved cause tonal problems.  Pinblock warranty covers cracks 
and separations which lead to tuning pins not holding.  The 
plate warranty is simple for no cracks.  Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance...
