Oh come on, you're not being fair. I tell them the last tuner was lazy and didn't want to tell the truth. I say it is not economically justifiable to fix up the piano but for $X it can be put back into enjoyable shape. It is their piano and the decision is up to them. *(I also try to take out some of the sting by telling them that the real gift was the gift of music, this is just the box in which it came.
