Old Upright Recycling

[John Ross]

Funny how minor repairs, turn into us having done major work on a piano. I
am sure it has happened, many times to us all.
I made the mistake of selling a set of keytops to someone, who wanted to do
it himself. When he sold the piano, he said I had professionally did it.
What a mess it was, and yes it was the last time I sold parts for someone to
fix it himself.
Then there is always the times,  when, "well it worked before you tuned it".
