Lady spent months looking for just the right piano. Drove sellers nuts. = Fell in love with old Haines upright. I looked, said it needed restringing, = new hammers, keytops, etc. Gave her good rate, did the work. Came out = beautiful, inside and out, sound and sight. But the action is over 100 years old = and has the odd click and clack--including &%#$@* rocker capstans--that I = was trying to track down during tunings. C8 barely sounds (So what? you ask, = but it and every other itty bitty thing bugs her). She just canceled her = tuning appointment and said she was going to call so-and-so and see if he can = "make the piano right." So-and-so is retired, mostly, but ran a local retail = piano business for many years. He is not altogether honest, this I know as = fact. Lady lives a block from me. I know this sort of thing happens but it = hurts the old feelings which, being a man, requires me to say "it really = p****es me off". Pant, pant, rant, rant .... =20 Thanks for listening, I had to dump this load somewhere. =20 =20 Alan Barnard Salem, Missouri =20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
