David, This is one of many reasons why I will not do Concert Work. That "Pianist" is, IMO, an egoist and a royal pain in the patoot. Most Real Performers, that I have done, are able to work around many foibles of the piano and are able to cover them up. Those that complain about every little piddly thing, (again MO), are usually inept clods that WISH they were REAL Performers! My sincere sympathy to you, for what that "clod" put you through. Do not doubt yourself, for as you stated, you and the Client oohed and awed at how beautiful the piano sounded. Go with that and feel good about the excellant work that you do. <G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay! [G}
