factory warranty?

[Leslie W Bartlett]

I recently tuned a piano with "constructed in Belarus" on the lid.  It
had "Ackermann" and some German text on the plate, I think.  Half the
tuning pins were loose, several barely tight enough to hold a tune, and I
was sure the piano wasn't more than ten years old.............
