A newbie tech here. I'm really interested in this topic. Did the customer buy the piano as new or used? If it was sold as used, what is the main problem with selling these pianos except that they were built for a higher humidity level? Thanks for the info!

I'm also assuming that the clients don't realise the truth. Any suggestions on approaching them? Much appreciated. John Pengelly The Tuning Fork
