From what you are saying, potentially, every grand in my inventory would have to have a .4 or at least a .8 and verticals should have 1.0, because over their life time, every piano will eventually have to be rebuilt, or have major reconditioning done to it. (which would mean there would will not be a need for the category of 1.3, minor reconditioning). Are you recommending that we add a 1.6 or 2.0 to the loaner pianos, which would never need anything?
