Cable grand piano

[Greg Newell]

David,
         The Cable name is one of "nothing special, average or run of the 
mill" type quality. They can be good stable instruments for the owner who 
is willing to the proper amount of work on them. Do yourself the favor of 
looking over the entire piano closely before quoting any work and then 
itemize things making sure that you aren't replacing one item when 
something else should be done first. Band-aid's rarely satisfy anyone but 
that's usually all anyone wants to pay for. Skillfully attempt, if you can, 
to get your client to understand that owning a piano requires regular care 
which necessitates spending money on it, probably regularly. Good Luck!
