I live in Portland Oregon and we have about twelve to fifteen dealers of which one or two tend to stretch the truth and act other than honest. I still say that we are in one of the best industries out there. I am proud to be in the "piano" biz. The few dealers like the one described below will eventually meet their judge and I pity the one on that day. Ed Tomlinson >> The piano industry indeed is one of the best to be associated with. I could go on and on, but to this date I have only 2 bounced checks from customers in 20 years of business. In fact, I believe piano owners are the best customers to be associated with. But Robert had a right to start the discussion. He is only attempting to get advice from one very dishonest dealer and to do something about it and it looks like he recieved a lot of good advice. It was never an attempt to blast dealers, even if they stretch the truth somewhat. Dave Peake, RPT Portland Chapter Oregon City, OR
