piano evaluation checklist

[Geoff Sykes]

I'm not interested in appraising the piano, only evaluating it's condition
and advising the customer, (mine), on the merits and pitfall$ of the
instrument.

Don't let them push you into giving a dollar value on the spot.  Gather lots
of information about the piano, and also about what the customer actually
wants, then go home and think it through. You are not required to give the
value that the customer wants, or to offer to repair for the price the
customer wants to pay!

Greetings all --
 
I have never done a piano evaluation before but I have been called upon to
do one. In preparation I have been re-reading Larry Fine. So many things one
never really thinks about when simply tuning and maintaining the beasts.
Anyway, several months ago I remember, or perhaps imagined, that someone
here posted a rather detailed piano evaluation checklist. I have already
searched the archives and can't find it. Does someone here have something
like this they would be willing to share, or should I just go ahead and
reinvent it?
