Birdcages

[Tony Caught]

John, are you saying that you can't regulate an overdamper piano and do the
minor work that may be needed to get a note working ?. Try new dampers to
get it to dampen properly.

Your the technical. It is your responsibility to make the piano play
properly, be it restringing, fixing a sticky note or replacing the dampers.
Don't say to the customer "buy a new piano" give customer an option. Its not
a perfect world but to say  NEVER   tut tut tut.
