Before knowing the lady's abilities, I asked the man if he would consider a Yamaha U1 which is supposed to be "good"- and since the one selling it is arguably the best rebuilder in town, I would trust anything he said...... The guy spent all the time I was working, up on the computer. At one point he came down and said he found a U1 for half the price, in Atlanta, Georgia.................. Uh, he had heard a little about that "grey market" stuff, but still, "half the price"..................... So, I guess it's time to wake up and let him live with his own choices. After all, he knew how she played, and he says he's a retired engineer........ DUH. thanks for encouraging words. They were gold for this day. les _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Diane Hofstetter Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 1:19 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Stumped You can't afford to identify too emotionally with the customer here. When you want to do more than you can, they wonder why you don't. If you are kind but firm about the situation, they put the blame where it belongs ( not on you ).
