If all you were asked to do is tune it, and not give an appraisal of the piano, or were asked?your opinion about the condition of the piano, then you should just do what you were hired to do, and keep you opinions to yourself.

A lady wanted me to tune her kimball console prior to selling it.? She tried to sell it to "some guy" who rents pianos, but he said he really had too many.......... 

?

Several dead bass strings, bass dampers buzzing, and enough rust on the strings which was not superficial that I was very hesitant to tune it.?? Got it done, she having left, and left me a key to get out.?? Is it my place to tell her what she has, or just stay away and hope it implodes before anyone else gets it?
