BAD, BADD, PIANO

[Robin Blankenship]

Shawn,

One thing that you might consider communicating to either this or future 
customers that have difficult pianos for you is that you have very quick and 
firm access to some of the very best minds in your profession through this 
list. And, I bet there is hardly anyone ON this list who has not been 
through very similiar situations themselves. It's called the learning curve 
and it's a memorable experience!!! Always be honest with your clients as to 
your ability and experience level. Often they will work with you; but, only 
if you are upfront with them. You seem to have been upfront in this case. 
And, yes, you DID do the best you could with what you had at the time.

Hang in there!!
