  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?
