I also don't give a three minute explanation to the customer. I just tell them the piano is too old, and this is the only thing that can be done. If you sound confident, and tell the customer what you are doing, without going into detail, most customers will accept what you tell them, without question. If you try to explain too much,they might wonder what you are trying to hide. Just my thoughts Wim
