size=2>> Thanks to all who have participated so far. I can assure =
you I did
our <BR>> profession proud with the way I handled my dropping jaw
line!<BR>> <BR>> Seriously, I was up front from the start. Before =
I put a
hammer to pin, <BR>> we discussed the instrument for about 5 minutes. =
That's
how I found out <BR>> how long between tunings it really had =
been..amungst
other things. The <BR>> age of the people that own this piano are not =
far in
age to the piano <BR>> itself. I guess my thing with this scenario is =
I
would prefer to have <BR>> them refuse an offer before leaving it =
behind with
the home. How I left <BR>> it with them was by giving them my =
business card,
shaking the man's <BR>> hand, asking him if he would call me =
before
making any final decisions. <BR>> He said he would think about what =
had taken
place here today and would <BR>> consider it.<BR>> <BR>> What =
surprises
me more than anything about the responses so far is the <BR>> fact =
that the
alligatored case got a no mention from my esteemed <BR>> colleague to =
the
great NE of me...hmmmmmmmmm.<BR>> <BR>> Phil Bondi(Fl)<BR>> =
