FW: piano

[Leslie Bartlett]

This is kind of humorous........................   If you get "color" in
your email, the red is my addition.  This is a lady with a GH-1, living in a
$3million home. The piano might be five years old.  I suggested the first
time I tuned it that she get a string cover, but it seemed a bit too much
money- even while there bought-by-cash $120K Mercedes sat in the driveway.
Now there is a slight bit of oxidation and it MUST be time to get a new
piano.  I said she probably should get a new one if she would give me hers.
Otherswise, why not wait another 40 years or so......................
Sheesh.

Dear Leslie,
 
Thank you for all your work and for the helpful information.  I'm so glad
you found the check-- and it was no bother to receive your message.
 
I will definitely buy the string cover on-line.  If you do find out the
reason we have the black specs on the strings, please let me know.
 
You did a great job on the tuning-- i played it this morning, and it sounded
like a brand new piano- thank you!!!
 
With the strings looking like they do, maybe it's time to think about buying
a new piano??, even though this one sounds great.  I would appreciate your
thoughts on this idea....
 
Please advise.  Thank you,
Tara Imani

Dear Mrs. Imani: 
        Sorry to have bothered your cell phone.  I have had persons who
simply forgot to write checks, and it came to them some time later…….  You
will know by now that I do have the check. Thank you.
I wish to suggest again that you consider Edwards String Covers. You can
google them.  You may order one yourself and I'll just be out of the loop.
The price you pay them would be the price you pay me.  I would simply make a
few dollars because I'm a tech and get a "technician's price".  If you were
to have your piano "cleaned" every three or four years, you would probably
have approached the cost of the string cover, and in the mean time your
copper wound strings would continue to oxidize, and more of those little
black dots on the strings would show up. I can't for the life of me figure
why you have them, and I even called Yamaha to try to get some answers.
Usually it's mice or roaches, but there was absolutely nothing inside the
piano to indicate such was an issue.    I have only sold a couple of these
relatively expensive covers, but both who have them swear up and down they
are the best purchase they've ever made regarding their pianos………….
Thanks for allowing me to tune for you.
