Hey Guys, Think about this. There are too few dealers, so to rat on the dealers hurts us all, but to do nothing is also hurting us all. What's needed most is for people to change their minds. The good book calls it repentence. By all means inform owners of the truth about their instruments, but it is also useful for us to go to the dealers descretly, and in private conversation inform them of their 'buyers' misunderstandings. Get the dealers to do a better job of selling. And especially get them to do a better job in prepping their instruments, many I've run into don't know much about pianos. It would also help if dealers didn't deal in junk, so help them to know when a piano sale hurts the whole industry. Frankly I think we ought to investigate to find out if anybody plays certain makes of pianos after they buy them?? I'll bet there's a pattern out there. Poor instruments have little pleasure in them, but the owner thinks it's their own desire to play that's at fault. Better pianos, better desire, better pianists, better music, better sales, better service, it's all connected. Roger Hayden, RPT
