Richard, Your information is mostly correct. The license fee is due when you do an installation. This is true whether you sell the piano, are rebuilding the piano, or testing out the system. Bill Springer, RPT bill.springer@wapin.com http://www.wapin.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-pianotech@ptg.org [mailto:owner-pianotech@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Richard Moody Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2000 4:08 PM <snip> If the terms are not to your liking, try negotiating. The the use of this "system" offers improvement so dramatic, that in most cases it is well worth the $325. Also I like the arrangement whereby you can install it in a piano you own and not pay until the piano is sold. When you sign the non disclosure agreement and receive the details you will see why this is so. It actually is a kind of "share ware" concept where you get "nagged" for $325 for using it, but it is due only after you get paid for your services that should have included their "use" fee from the beginning, At least that is my understanding. If you are like me and don't like to try something new on a clients piano until you have tried it on you own, then the Wapin offer of terms should be acceptible, appealing even. .
