Dear list, Perhaps some of you could give some advice on my situation. Recently a customer called and said some of her notes were broken. After asking a few questions, I realized that she had an old spinet with the disentegrating elbow syndrome. I explained to her that fixing a few would just be a stop gap remedy and she might in fact be better off with another piano. As fate would have it, its a ? family heirloom (lame) and yet she just wants the broken ones fixed and the piano tuned. I plan on tuning the piano first and fear that I will break many more. She does not want to replace them all at this point. I feel like I might be getting into a mess of a situation here. Perhaps I should cancel unless she wants to spring for a complete replacement. And even then the other plastic, if any, may soon start crumbling. So what do you fellows do in a situation such as this? Thanks in advance. Jim Love /PTG Associate/Midland, Tx.
