Plate Crack - how lethal?

Your proof should be found with the follow-up visit.  We as a rule condemn
such instruments unless the customer is insistent on the service.

Subject: Plate Crack - how lethal?

 

Hello list,

 

The recent thread on ethics of cameras reminded me that I had a photo I
wanted to share with you all.  I found this plate crack in the upper treble
of an upright, and I wondered just how "lethal" it might be.  I passed on
tuning the piano - but not just because of this crack.  It has a host of
other problems as well.  I just told the customer it wasn't worth the
effort, considering they picked it up free from their county's garbage dump.

 

But for their curiosity and my own, I wonder if such a crack would spell
doom, and what other people's opinions and anecdotes might be.

 

Oh, and the customer was there, OK'd the picture, and is as curious about it
as I am.

 

Thanks,

 

John Dorr
