My experience tells me that the fear of loosing a reputation is much greater 
than actually loosing it. For the most part, people looking for a "fixer 
upper" are content with a piano that doesn't play 100%. Furthermore, what's 
to prevent the technician you thought was going to fix it up, to do the same 
thing. The only saving grace here is that it would be his reputation at 
stake, instead of yours. But he could also say "Terry worked on this." 

Unless the piano is totally unplayable, in which case it needs to taken to 
the dump, without the nice wood panels, if you can make a few bucks off it, 
and make a poor family happy, why give it away.
