yamaha loaners?

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi John,
It is your vender not Yamaha.
Here we have the pianos for two years and rotate a few out each year so that
there are pianos that we can rely upon to be fairly stable.
When there is a sale at TVCC it is more likely to be a phone call telling
the customer "Well we can sell you a new piano for the same price as the
used college piano" . Most go for the new 'green' piano, but not if they
have talked to me first about liking the sound of the piano, and the green
factor.
