I got a call from a lady saying her son dropped her piano while moving it off the porch. The sides are a little damaged, and some notes don't play, and there might be a broken string. She's had it since she was a child, and has lots sentimental value, so please come and fix it. When I got to the house, the piano was sitting outside, under a tarp. When I told her husband that the piano was toast, he had the nerve, or maybe it was the stupidity, to ask what it is worth. He said, "all the keys are still there, and there's a little termite damage, but can't you fix it?" Did I do the right thing by telling him I couldn't fix it. Anyone want a 1950's' Wurlitzer spinet, with all the keys, but a "little case damage"? Wim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
