<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just got a call to come over and =
tune/inspect a
Cunningham baby grand. I'm relatively new to the business and =
haven't
run across this name before. The owner got it from someone free =
of
charge. I asked her how it sounded and she said she wasn't sure =
because
she was tone deaf (this should be a real fun visit!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She did say it looked very old and =
she knew that
it hadn't been tuned in years. Anybody heard of this make? =
Anything I should watch out for?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
