It is not only simple-minded, it is extremely unprofessional. I thought the whole point to being a “professional” anything, was to do that thing right, to do things the “correct” way, the “best” way. >> Bill, I wrote that remark, and I stand by it. The problem posed had to do with an old upright that had some pins not holding. If this had been a grand piano with the same problem, I would not have given that answer. As in any situation, you do what is necessary to make the piano work, taking into consideration the age and condition of the piano, the time you have to make the repairs, and the money available to do the work done. All of these things will have an influence on how the repair is done. Willem Blees St. Louis
