I just had a nasty thought. Remember my post and subsequent responses regarding telling a piano owner about defects you have observed in their piano?????

Or should I just try the elusive route - "interesting and uncommon design characteristics - rarely found even in high quality pianos today"? You know she'll want an explanation.
