This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I have a 98 year old Ivers and Pond that was dropped on it's back by a = moving company. The first drop was inside the truck from about 2-3 feet = high. The piano fell on it's back causing the lid to rip off the = hinges. The second drop was when the movers were carrying the piano = down the ramp. This was from 3-4 feet high and again the unit fell on = it's back. This time there was some case damage. The insurance company = sent a piano technician out who examined the piano and stated that the = lid needed repair and the piano a tuning. I have talked to a separate = technician who stated that there is know way to tell if the cast iron = plate was damaged without performing an X-ray. He stated that there may = be metalogical stress fractures to the cast. My question to you experts = is: 1. would you sell this piano to your customers or would you repair = it. 2. would you recommend that the piano be replaced. The insurance company of course feels that the first technicians = diagnosis is correct, however, I do not want to find out that after 2-3 = tunings that the plate was actually cracked and subsequently fractures = thereby, leaving me with a non-functional piano. Please send me your expert opinions. Thanks in advance, P.T. Calzaretta ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
