Would you buy a piano off of e-bay?

[Robin Blankenship]

Rob,
I happen to be the Jordan-Kitt's tech for south of the James River area
around Richmond, VA. If a JKM tech "inspected" this piano within the past
few months, it wasn't a "fellow"!! It wasn't me and our other tech is
female!! I am attempting to contact the seller and ask them some questions
about the instrument. I wonder how they expect to move it any distance.

I guess you can't fault people from trying. It does make you want to scream
sometime, though.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I don't think my company would
appreciate having someone making false or misleading claims involving our
company name.

Best regards,
Robin
