(You KNEW there was a story coming, didn't >you?!). ...and a sad story it is..the one difference is the tuner leaving the area..let's call him *Scott1*..is a straight-shooter with a GOOD reputation..i've played on some of his tunings..he's fine..right now he's out of town till next week, so contact is impossible.. ...point taken...point understood..i don't know how much of that applies here...maybe after i speak with him, between the dealer and him, we can hammer out an agreement where THEY do most of the leg-work..like customer contact...this Yami dealer is good for that..ya never know..my shoes still stink pretty bad from the *big pile* i stepped in last week..!!... ...the other dealer has some interesting repair/regulating work for me...reglue hammers...re-shape and regulate an old Knabe upright...and supposedly a Concert Tuning in the very near future...I didn't turn it down..right now i'm hoping the last guy did a bang-up job...my unisons are fine, but Temperment is still a little shaky... ....hopin' for the best, phil
