So far, I am booked up to 2015. (I say, so far, because who knows about the
economy and/or people changing their minds)
I had one back out from last year that - was - scheduled for this year.
Unfortunately, the couple - never - officially -
canceled. That was a seek-and-find player action with rebuild as well as major
piano rebuild - new hammers, dampers,
strings and pins - around $15,000 + they were going to have to get the cabinet
refinished.
