What I would have done in your shoes is to call the dealer and/or manufacturer prior to even touching the piano to see who the bill goes to. Then and only then will I agree to do the work. Been bitten before. Greg, I actually contacted both, and was reasonably well assured that if the manufacturer wasn't going to pay me, the dealer would. I have a good enough relationship with that particular dealer that he trusts that I won't rip him off. In the end, getting paid is the bottom line. I am certain I will get paid. Alan Barnard's comments about the piano being reasonably well regulated before leaving the store were not all wet! Indeed, the piano seemed okay at the initial tuning(after about a month in the customer's home), then not-so-okay at the second tuning six months later, then really-not-okay a month later. I think Keith Roberts' observations about compressing felt may have some merit here. The issues here are: I want to get paid I want to do the right thing.
