The customer bought it off the back of a truck; apparently the original owner was not able to make the payments and the bank repossessed. The wholesaler bought the paper from the bank and pedalled it on an itinerant schedule. >> If my memory serves me correctly, I too have tuned some of those Conn pianos that were sold off the back of a truck. All I can say is that that trucker sure gets around! Must not be able to stay in one place too long. Again, if memory serves me correctly, the Conn company manufactured pianos in the plant that is now the Charles Walter Co. It may be that Charles Walter was one of the design engineers for that manufacturer.
