But, unless we sit down and really play the piano for minutes, we won't hear all the unisons, or intervals, that aren't just right. A player doesn't have to be very good to recognize slight imperfections. I have had customers say the same thing, and found the piano to be in the same condition as you say. And when I play just a few chords, I don't hear the piano to be that much out of tune. But in the process of tuning, there are numerous strings I have to adjust. So the customer must know a little more than what we give him/her credit for. Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
