        Teaser?  I think it is much more than that. I think the first meeting 
is the basic foundation of whatever relationship you are going to have with 
someone. 
       Our minds are usually heading for made up after the first 30 seconds 
of meeting someone.  That first impression might be the deepest one we will 
make, and sincerity is the heaviest currency available.   Most of the rich people 
I know are extremely smart and alert.  They size others up very quickly, 
usually detecting fascades, (even if they don't show it, might be a southern 
thing).  They don't care that I charge more, just that they feel that they are 
getting the best possible care for their piano.   
      Pianos are my life.  I don't consciously think in terms of teasing so 
much as trying to be as authentic as possible. The former seems part of an 
agenda, often tempting me to hide something, while the latter, when successfully 
done, always seems to lead to the best possible outcome.
