David said: "A second issue - tangentially related - is the whole concept
of "preserving" old pianos that have little reason to be preserved. I think
over the years we have sometimes hurt the whole piano business (i.e. sales)
by this heroic effort to restore the living-dead... but then I have a
divergent view on lots of things."
 
dp,
What you say is true in my opinion. Most Piano Manufacturers, (deep in
their hearts), do not want us to fix anything. They are there to SELL
units, (no matter what that unit is). We, on the other hand are
TECHNICIANS. Our job is to maintain the PIANO in good stead for our
CLIENTS. Read The Code Of Ethics on the back of your membership card(s)
people! Our first order is to always have the best interest of the Client
in mind. We tend toget all uppity and snobby about "Grawnd Pianosssss" are
BETTAH and y'all should have BETTAH! Well, people, in this economy, we need
to stop that crap and do what is best for our clients...Then we need to
help the dealers make a few bucks as well.
That's my take on it,
Joe
