I got this post from the Experts list. Any takers? Paul McCloud San Diego -----Original Message----- From: experts-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:experts-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of kent@4te.com Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2003 7:28 AM To: experts@ptg.org Subject: [Experts] Is there an East Coast technician that can do what the West Coast technician can? I bought a square grand piano from a gentleman in California last November. A California PTG technician named Ray restored the piano in April of 1993, and has tuned it since. The piano was in good working order when it left California. I have been trying to get someone to tune it since it was delivered 3 months ago. Most of the PTG technicians I contacted do not work on square grands, and the two that I found that do were not much help. I was given quotes of $7,000 and $9,000 to restore it from those two PTG technicians. Ray (the California technician) believes that adjustments, repairs and tuning would cost around $1,000 to return it to its pre-shipping condition. But the two East Coast technicians want to start from scratch, and refused to touch it otherwise. Is there an East Coast technician that can do what the West Coast technician can? Thank you, in advance, for any help you might provide. This has been a very frustrating experience, and I\'d like to hope it could be resolved reasonably. \'Kent Taylor (703) 532-8072 508 Lincoln Ave Falls Church, VA 22046 _______________________________________________ experts list info: http://ptg.org/mailman/listinfo/experts
