From: Diane Hofstetter 245-M Mount Hermon Rd.#343 Scotts Valley, CA 95066 ph 831-438-6222 fax 831-430-9741 dianepianotuner@hotmail.com It's almost a certainty that "this isn't a fix, but it will get >you going temporarily", will morph in the customer's mind until it glows in >the dark as "COMPLETE REBUILD". . > >Ron N I've had customers tell me "My valuable antique upright has been completely refelted" and found 11 damper felts replaced; "My husband gave me this antique Steinway upright, completely rebuilt, as a wedding gift" (it had one piece of pretty, new felt woven in and out along the top line of the bass bridge pins, just barely covering the large crack); "This grand was just completely rebuilt, now I need to have it refinished" (it had one piece of pretty red felt covering the crack in the plate!, nothing else done to it). I came to the conclusion that if they have spent anything over $200 on repairs to the piano, in their minds it is "completely rebuilt".
