<HTML>     Pianotech List       My brother Keith recently asked me to refer a keytop replacement person. I referred him to some one who was listed in the Guild resource guide. I did not know a thing about this guy, who shall at least for now remain nameless. Our regular installer was swamped amd so he sent the keys.    He got them back and this is the worst butcher job I've ever seen. I mean nothing is straight. Keys so badly sanded they will need much wood glued on to repair, keytops not even covering all the wood on many fronts , the fronts totally uneven spacing keys, that were so over planed that 1/8" inch pieces had to be glued on to simulate a REAL key thickness dimension.   My point is I will never refer any one to a journal advertiser without have first hand experience and I intend to complain loudly to all who will listen on this list and at home office about ethics and advertisers. This is just plain fraud masquerading as piano repair and our organization is advertising him.   I figure it will take aproxamately 4 to 5 hundred dollars to repair these keys and get them straight again.   If my bros. doesn't get a refund plus damages I'll post the guys name here later so you all don't get burned.   Sign me hot under the collar >>>>Dale Erwin>>>></HTML>
