font-family:Arial'>Hi all. I’ll vent on you because my husband just
doesn’t “get it”. Today was my first experience with
telling a customer that her very pretty 100 year old Ludwig upright has major
cracks in the soundboard and needs serious help. (It’s buzzing in
the F4 area). She spent too much money on the piano, can’t afford
an overhaul, and just stared at me like I’m supposed to perform
miracles. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
