Instead of the inevitable game of 50,000,000,000 random 
guesses, some (any) actual information would narrow it down to 
a hopefully couple of hundred or fewer less random guesses. 
Like for instance, type of piano (upright, grand), brand, area 
of the scale, agraffe or vbar, front duplex type, etc??? You 
know, information somewhat more detailed than "it's broke".
