Hi Joel, I have a sister living in Brazil, so in '06 when I'd planned to visit, I had my website translated into Portuguese. We didn't end up finding any pianos, and only one tuner - in the largest city of the largest state in Brazil! And he wouldn't even talk to me after 20 various calls, messages, and setting 2 appointments! We have received about 3 calls/emails in the year since, and she doesn't know anyone to refer! I am going back this year in August, and we'll try again.... I don't think it is anywhere near Cuiba, though; sorry. Good luck! Dahr-wynn -----Original Message----- >From: "Joel A.
