Hi Keith:

This was the first time with this piano;  It was dirty and looked poorly 
maintained including some rust on tuning pins and coils.  Broken strings was 
the first thing that came to mind; secondly the soundboard had never been 
cleaned  and was a good candidate for that service (including cathair and 
other kinds of fur and plant droppings.  it was a mess!    Ever tried 
replacing a string without lifting the lid?  
That was the scenario.  I should have asked some questions before going out 
on this call, but didn't.  I will next time.
