My opinion is that you should keep your mouth shut. You shouldn't have even 
pointed out the false beat problems in the upper octave.

If this customer is indeed an intermediate player, and he was satisfied with 
the piano when he bought, obviously he didn't hear any problems. So why point 
them out to him. 

He probably has a restriction on how much he could spend for a piano. He 
might have thought long and hard to buy a "grand." But I'm sorry, for you to 
come in and point out problems on this brand new instrument is not in the 
best interest of the customer. 

Just my opinion
