<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I got a call today from some guy who has an "old K&C" piano with some broken strings and some broken hammers and needs a tune up real bad…………… Do many come to the point where there is a limit to "problems" one reaches and finally just decides s/he doesn't want to work on such a relic? He says he'll call me back (I am afraid he might) after I get done with a school district.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I also got a call from a man wanting to give away a "concert baby grand piano". Free, no less! And insensitive me, I declined the offer. I'm kind of serious about the question, though. The guy says he has a whole bunch of hammers he bought from someone, so is sure I could find ones that fit. He just doesn't know how to do the fixin'. I hope I'm not becoming a snob, but I simply can't bring myself to face things which seem to offer no hope of being better after being "worked on"……</FONT></P>
