Clyde, the piano comes with all of the hype that the company puts out. =
Whether or not the movers take the time to actually deliver the packets =
of information, that's another thing. Often we have people who buy =
Disklaviers and don't get any of the goodies that come with one. "The =
movers forgot" is the main complaint.=20

  Subject: New piano manuals


  Friends,

  A client recently purchased a new Steinway vertical (yes, I know, but
  they didn't ask me).  Relatively few of my clients buy new pianos, but
  routinely I ask them if they received a manual with the purchase, with
  the intention of suggesting that they follow the manufacturer's
  recommendations for tuning and humidity control.

  So I posed the question to this client, who said that she couldn't
  remember receiving a manual.  I called the retailer she purchased the
  piano from, who stated that frequently pianos do not come with =
manuals,
  since there wouldn't be much to say anyway except keep the piano =
tuned.

  Is this true of most companies, that they don't supply owner's =
manuals?
  Is this the direction things are going?  It seems to me that even if a
  purchaser buys an El Cheapo for a couple thousand bucks, that's still =
a
  considerable sum of money and something should be included with basic
  information on a piano's care.  Comments?

  Regards,
