---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Tom, If the serial number on the contract is not the serial number on the piano Biasco is trying to foist on your client, then your client has no obligation to take the instrument. He bought a specific piano, and it is obviously no longer available. The contract doesn't say, "any U-1 Yamaha we decide to give him," right? Also, I believe there is a law that gives the customer a certain period of time to back out of any deal, even after delivery, whether or not the customer has signed a contract. To the best of my knowledge, this is true in California, but I'm not sure about Illinois.
