I do of course mean Alabama, home of the Evil Tide, not England, home of Aston Villa and West Brom, not to mention Birmingham City. If you want to email me a contact number off list I'll pass it on to the customer. She has just bought the piano, I dont know her except through phone contact but she seems nice enough. I inspected the piano for her and approved it.
