The prior tech must've busted the string the customer cleverly attached to a pocket weight in the window that the piano sits under. <chortle> Probably did it as he stormed outta the room after the Mister (Missez?) refused to pay the bill. On the other hand, I'm reminded of a response once uttered by the venerable Owen Jorgensen upon being asked what one should do should a customer refuse to pay the bill. After musing for a second, he replied, "Well, I suppose you could put a long piece of wood under the keys, on the keyframe, to prevent the keys from playing until they paid up. Kinda like a mechanic's lein." I remember the smile he gave, proud of himself for having thought up something so quickly. What a guy.
