upright piano from a well known major manufacturer. When I ordered it,
I&nbsp;included the model and serial number. But the manufacturer sent the

the part back, and&nbsp;get credit for it, but I will not get reimbursed for
the shipping costs. Since I live in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hawaii</st1:place></st1:State>,&nbsp;that&nbsp;came
