Phil, Rant to follow! The restaurant is NOT a victim. Whoever is responsible for the actual purchase is an adult, right? Is in a so-called responsible position, right? Well, doesn't it stand to reason it was that person's RESPONSIBILITY to check out the purchase BEFORE buying? I highly suspect that it was just another "deal" whereby the restaurant wanted the moon but was willing to pay for a speck of dirt. I highly suspect that those who have had to play that piano have complained about it since day one! I highly suspect the restaurant is very aware of its condition. Their position probably is: They have a beautiful piece of furniture that makes a sound....why is the piano player complaining, the customers aren't. (This is why I don't tune for restaurants anymore!) We technicians are NOT responsible for the mistakes of others. We can, and should imho, inform the owner(s) - be it restaurant, school, individual, whoever - of the current condition of the piano. If the owner wants to seek recompense, it is THEIR responsibility, not ours. Caveat Emptor! End of rant. Thank you for letting me vent. ;-) Gina PS I'm sorry your hands hurt, but why did you continue to play for four hours????? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Bondi" <tito@PhilBondi.com> To: "Pianotech List" <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2001 8:17 AM Subject: Hurricane Andrew piano?
