<DIV>I do hope he gives the entire action a good liberal spraying of WD40 before
he sprays his gold paint! If so, it may be the same guy up here in Florida
(USA) - maybe he winters here?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yeah, we got 'em here also. I think every area has one or two (or
more).</DIV>

<DIV>We have a bloke here near us, who specialises in spraying
everything gold. He is known as "The gold spray king', and he sprays
everything from hammers to strings and pins. These are generally very old
bangers, no worth much, however he calls this 'reconditioning'. Tuners hate
him, because he rips people off, and sells these junk pianos with the
guarantee that he will give them what they paid for it on a new piano, when
ever they wish to trade in. Usually it is not long after they have bought the
crap piano, and they have no where else to go, because their piano is
worthless. Do you guys have these idiots over there too?</DIV>
<DIV>We are the bogy men because we are called in to tune them, we tell the
owner that they have purchased a dud, and we leave with our tails between our
legs, after charging a call fee, and we are the worst in the world.</DIV>
<DIV>The law can do nothing about him. </DIV>
<DIV>Most people think if it looks good, it must be good, and if it sounds
crook, then they either would not know, or explain it away by, 'It just needs
a tune"!!!!</DIV>
<DIV>He probably has a relation over there.</DIV>
<DIV>Cheers.</DIV>
