I'm with you for once...this is exactly why the "global economy" doesn'=
t work.  I think the Chinese are dumping pianos...I believe that is ill=
egal.
It would be nice if PTG could do some kind of education program for con=
sumers but there are big ads in the Journal of Chinese made pianos.   C=
ertainly Consumer Reports should be lobbied to do a consumer report for=
 piano buyers....

All,
I doubt that this will do one whit of good, but I've gotta say it anywa=
y. I completely REFUSE to work on Chinese Pianos. The Chinese are inund=
ating our society with all sorts of "cheap" products. The Corporate typ=
es are buying into it. Hence, OUR work force is hard pressed to compete=
 on any level. For those clients that own Chinese Pianos, I simply refe=
r them elsewhere. I know that a large majority of technicians refuse to=
 work on Square Grands, why not the Chinese pianos? I consider a Square=
 Grand ten times easier to cope with than the Chinese POS's. I refuse t=
o be a party to undermining my own economy. If every technician would d=
o the same, a lot of those Chinese PSO's (actually it's a compliment to=
 call them such, IMO.), would wind up in the land fill, where they belo=
ng....or, better yet, send them back to China and let their people cont=
end with them.
End of Rant. Thanks for letting me.<G>
