<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Oh, those coincidences can happen!  I remember when I was living in Germany, a group of us decided to go to Amsterdam for a day.  As we were getting on one of those canal boats, we met old friends of my parents getting off!  They had stopped in Amsterdam, for only a day, on their way from the USA to Africa.  I still marvel over that event!

When I saw the thing I could understand her concern. Much of the work that he claimed to have done he obviously hadn't, and what he actually had done had damaged the piano. The description of this situation sounds much like that piano, including the split pin block from lack of support while driving the pins. After I explained all the problems, I recommended that the customer get him to "buy" the piano back, which she did. She has since gotten a different grand and is still a good customer to this day. The part that makes me write this: He left my area to move to Florida..... You don't suppose.... will</blockquote> </html>
