Techs Most Dear, Once again I am humbly appealing to you: to provide me with a rough estimate of how much one normally charges for totally replacing a Steinway Teflon (TM) action with felt bushed, and thoroughly regulating it a la Boone's book. I got into a "bad deal" with the Food Service Dept. at a major University here, where I did all this work without a detailed contract, and may now not get paid! Any written testimonials which I may present to them would be extremely helpful, and most greatly appreciated! Most Sincerely Gordon Stelter P.S. The piano in question is an 1896 "B" which I salvaged from the junk pile after the University's staff technicians had declared it hopeless. Someone put Teflon (TM) shanks and wips on it in the 60's, then it was "borrowed" by a frat house. ( It was returned, reeking and battered, in the back of a pickup truck last year with a sheepish, "We think that this is yours." It now plays better than many in the School of Music, and is used for banquets and special events by visiting jazz musicians, etc.. So I guess I did an O.K. job. Please help me get paid. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health - Feel better, live better http://health.yahoo.com
