I don't "condemn" pianos, but give every reason to believe that it has a high probability of fatal problems. Had someone call yesterday w/ a mirror upright. What I told them was, "In my experience, that kind of piano is nearing the end of its useful life and sometimes cannot be tuned or needs lots of work first before tuning.." The customer understood and still wants me to look at it because "it's the only piano I have." I told her that I will charge for a service call whether or not the piano can be tuned, and that's OK w/ her. OK w/ me! John M. Formsma Blue Mountain, MS Friends, Do any of you condemn a piano without ever seeing it? There are times when I feel like I probably should, but the client is looking for some professional input and hopefully a miracle. I got a call. A large family (eight kids) has a piano that was given to them four years ago. It sounds tinny, some of the keys don't work, and the former owner told them it can't be tuned to standard pitch. The kids are taking lessons. Money may very well be tight; I didn't ask. Such service calls can be an adventure, to say the least! Thoughts?
