Ross Hi John, This has been a problem for me many times in the past when I took pity on someone and did patch work on some old beater to try to get them playing. Far too many times, the piano showed up later, owned by another person who was told that I had rebuilt it! It's probably a toss up. What you gain in good will, you lose in reputation. It's a glandular thing - do you feel like rolling the dice and trying to help, or not? Some caveats apply, may be too intense for some participants. Then there's the time I condemned an old Starr grand without doing a thing to it, only to condemn the same piano three more times in the next year, each time hearing from the new owner how, since I had rebuilt it, I should get it working for them. For free, naturally. Ron N
