The most that could possibly be at stake is the value of the piano, which is not more than a couple hundred. How many lawyers work for minimum wage? Paul S. Larudee, RPT Richmond, CA >> Don't underestimate the power of legal suits. Besides the actual expenses involved, tuning, and the cost of buying the piano in the first place, customers can, and have, sued for "mental anguish," "undue emotional harm'", and they can even throw in the their legal expenses. I fully agree with Ed. Don't treat this too lightly. My advice to refund the tuning fee would have been as a last resort, and as I said, with the understanding that this is not an admittance of guilt. Willem
