<HTML>List Thanks to all for the advice...  To briefly recap, I was hired to exam= ine a Yamaha U1 which my client purchased from Biasco Piano.  He wante= d me to inspect it before he took delivery.  I arrived and was shown t= o the piano, which had a different serial number than the one sold to my cli= ent. (!) So I inquired if there was a mistake, but I was told that this was = indeed my client's piano.  When I pointed out to them that it had a di= fferent serial number, they told me that they never sell the pianos off the = floor.  They take a piano from the warehouse to deliver to the client.=   Imagine a car dealer doing that? Unanswered questions:  If they don't sell the pianos off the floor, wh= ere did the piano my client bought go?  And if they don't sell the pia= nos off the floor, then are they intending to deliver yet a different piano = to my client?  Am I inpsecting a random U1? Interesting sales ploy:  Yamaha U1 advertised for $1695 in the newspap= er.  Sign on piano: "To qualify for this price, you must purchase benc= h."  Cost of bench: $325. (no frills standard bench)  My client = tells me he also paid $175 documentation fee.  So you can add $500 to = that advertised price.  ($2195 for a U1, still not a bad price.) Tom Sivak</HTML>
