Likes her old clunker

Assuming that her old piano is still in the home, place them side by
side and let HER do some comparisons.  Bring a dip block along and
demonstrate that the key dip is the same.  Talk about touch weight and
show her some samples of what worn out bushing felts can do to the feel
of a piano.  Talk about voicing and how her new piano can become
brighter if she wishes.  illustrate how the worn thin hammers she is
used to will have a different sound than the are "supposed to sound".
Point out the rusty strings and dirty bass windings compared to the new
strings.  My guess is that she will begin to see the light.
