I'd tuned it for about three years,and last time I saw the piano it was in excellent condition.  So, today was first tuning for the new owner.   I noticed the frame separating, what looked like a bit of plate separating from the pin block, found sections horribly low- certainly too low to be only a year since it was tuned.  C#3 I think, the lowest note on the treble bridge sounds more like a thud than a note- kind of like a bridge separation.   Since I recommended the piano, which was in excellent shape when I last saw it, I feel somewhat responsible for these people not getting what they paid for. How would others of you handle this? thanks les bartlett </BODY> </HTML>
