Service and rental policy

[PHIL SLOFFER, MA067 855-1244]

Hi All

The following is what we send to all the dorms and other dept on campus
who have pianos or might rent one from the School of Music.  Most rentals
are handled by the Conference Bureau for use by what ever group has made
the request.  We will rent to anyone who wants to pay the price but since
we are not the cheapest we dont rent much outside the university.  As far
as I know the money goes to the general fund.

* Due to atmospheric conditions or prolonged neglect it is sometimes
necessary to raise or lower the pitch of the instrument in order to
stabilize it for tuning.

All orders must be accompanied by an account number and a contact person
at the location of the work to be performed.

Suggestions for piano care:

1. Regular maintenance intervals provide the best protection for the
   instruments.
2. Try to maintain uniform atmospheric conditions.  Extreme fluctuations in
temperature and humidity leave the tuning of the instrument very unstable.
3. When it is not possible to maintain a reasonably stable atmosphere,
systems are available which can be installed in the instrument which will
provide the proper levels.
4. Abuse, not use, is a leading cause for repairs.
5. One of the leading causes of abuse is accidental spills of drinks and
food into the piano. Try to discourage food and drinks on the piano.
6. Report any spills or other problems as soon as possible. Spilled liquids
can cause ongoing damage.
