I gotta aggree. The basic dishonesty (I will go so far to call it that) surrounding these things is what really peeves me. Comes in just about every shade too. What ever it takes to dump the piano on the market. I remember about 30 years ago a whole shipload of old English overdampers popped up in the Northwest US. (Perhaps other places as well) Basically the same story with a few twists. Ah...well... if people are stupid enough to buy into this kinda thing then I suppose they deserve it. I suppose that sounds a bit harsh. I know I know... its not a perfect world...grin. > > ALL pianos from my stores are fully prepped, with an after sales package. > And that is the way it will continue. > If we cannot offer a 5 yr warranty on a used grand, it is sold as is with > full disclosure, right on the price tag. Good for you Roger. I bet in the long run it pays off big time. Happier customers and less headaches. > Hope this clarifies my position. > Regards Roger -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
