<BR>If only as much time were actually spent at that dealership actually working
<BR>on pianos as was spent writing the biggest piece of meaningless crap I have
<BR>ever read on this list to date, it would be nice.
<BR>
<BR>The truth is that these service bonds are NEVER done by that dealership
<BR>because it does NOT pay the technician to do them. They spend a little time
<BR>turning the tuning pins and maybe sometimes tightening a few of the screws
<BR>that are easy to reach, then leave the piano to go to ruin rather hastily.
<BR>
<BR>When I see a piano from that dealership that has really, honestly had the
<BR>Yamaha Service Bond done on it, I'll cry, "Hallelujah! This must be the
<BR>Rapture!"
<BR>
<BR>Mind you, this is the dealer who still consistently DIS-recommends
<BR>Dampp-Chaser products, telling the customer that it stresses the piano and
<BR>will VOID the warranty.
<BR>
<BR>Know when you are reading hype folks. I was brought up to trust what people
<BR>say and to take them at face value. I've had to learn the hard way not to do
<BR>so.
