<DIV>Don't let them push you into giving a dollar value on the spot.
Gather lots of information about the piano, and also about what the
customer actually wants, then go home and think it through. You are not
required to give the value that the customer wants, or to offer to repair
for the price the customer wants to pay!</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=781000822-29062006>I have never
done a piano evaluation before but I have been called upon to do one. In
preparation I have been re-reading Larry Fine. So many things one never
really thinks about when simply tuning and maintaining the beasts.
Anyway, s</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

imagined, that someone here posted a rather detailed piano evaluation
checklist. I have already searched the archives and can't find it. Does
someone here have something like this they would be willing to share,
or should I just go ahead and reinvent it? </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
