<HTML>List Tomorrow I go into the den of iniquity, i.e., Biasco Piano, to examine a pia= no on a client's behalf.  It is a pre-owned U1, serial #725700.  = Biasco is expecting me to come tomorrow to check it out and have agreed to = let me see it.  Now, he has already put money down on this piano so I'= m not sure if the deal can be nixed at this point, no matter what I find, bu= t what general advice would you have for someone in this situation?  I= 've never been called on before to examine a piano at any dealer before, let= alone at Biasco.  I'm not looking for advice on what aspects of the p= iano to check; I can in all modesty say that I am fully qualified to examine= this piano for its integrity, quality and/or any potential problems.  = It's the ethical/business aspects that I ask advice on.  For starters,= I plan on saying nothing to the folks at Biasco about what I find.  T= he client is paying me for advice and I will give it to him directly.  = But if I find something that is truly wrong (and being Biasco...this could = be possible) can I be held liable in some way if the client decides to back = out of the deal?  I've already warned him of gray market Yamahas, but he's not particularly co= ncerned.  He already owns another Yamaha and thought he could provide = the serial number to that piano if any parts were needed for this piano.&nbs= p; I had to admit that most of the parts would probably be interchangeable.=   Not an ethical way to deal with a problem, but since the problem at = this point doesn't exist, I chose not to address it. So, any advice will be appreciated.  I don't want to get myself into a= ny trouble over this.  I really don't expect to find anything radicall= y wrong with this piano.  I think it's just going to be another one ho= ur service call, but I'm sure many of you have been here before and will hav= e some great advice.  If I can avoid stepping in it, I'd gladly walk around it!
