<DIV>Pros and Cons about leasing used pianos. The store that I service for wants me to partner with them in \"fixing up\" and leasing used pianos. They are offering a 50% deal. We can rule out purchasing cheap new pianos. Our target is 50 to 20 year old instruments that can be repaired and tuned to A440. The dealer is doing the financing and delivery and I am providing the labor and maintenance. Deal or no deal? Thanks for your advice.</DIV>
