I've done this many times - for windshields, cleaning carburetors, a loom, etc., etc. It can be kinda fun - you get to meet someone doing something different than what you do - and hey, maybe they have a piano - or know someone that does - or maybe they'll tell someone about their experience with you and they tell someone who has a piano - or whatever. Sometimes it's just kinda nice to be nice. <div><br> </div> <div>How could meeting someone new, smiling, doing a good deed and just being an all 'round nice guy be a waste of time?</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Terry Farrell<br> <div><br> <div> <div>On Dec 22, 2012, at 9:20 PM, Tom Driscoll wrote:</div> <br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> <blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"> <div class="hmmessage" bgcolor="#ffffff" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"> <div><font face="Arial" size="3">Marshall,</font></div> <div><font face="Arial" size="3"> Give her the # of one of those resellers .

To me it's a strange request.  This person wants to know if I have any piano wired that she can  use to make jewelry, a pin to be exact.  Is this a prank or is piano wire used for jewelry?  If it is, I can sell her a batch.  What gauge would she need if in fact this is something I have.  I'd give it to her I guess, but this stuff wil cost me if I have to buy a particular gauge again.  What would I sell it for if I did sel lher some? /Thanks</font><br> <font face="Arial" size="3">Marshall</font><br> <font face="Arial" size="3">215-510-9400</font><br> <font face="Arial" size="3"><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.phillytuner.com">http://www.phillytuner.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></font><br> </div> </blockquote> </div> </span></blockquote> </div> <br> </div> </div> </blockquote> </body> </html>
