When I = get a call from a new customer to tune their YC grand the anticipation = starts. When I find out that the serial number begins with a zero, I = start panting softly. When I find hammers blocking I start salivating. = And when the customer tells me that the last tech found the same problem = previously and kept having to "adjust something in there" I, I, - no, = get your mind out of the gutter - my eyes start rolling over and = spinning like a slot machine with dollar signs! End result: replace brackets - they pay you and they seek reimbursement = from YC - and do a full regulation - plus tuning, etc. - usually ends up = well over a grand for a bunch of very fun work! No doubt about it, YC = expanding brackets are an opportunity! I find that if you explain the situation thoroughly to the customer, and = what the other tech was doing, and that most new pianos will need a = regulation after a few years of break-in anyway, they are usually very = appreciative that you have finally gotten to the bottom of the cause of = the troubles they have been having with that darn piano for so many = years. Terry Farrell ----- Original Message -----=20 My worry here is that it was serviced by a tech who was unfamiliar = with the problem and could possibly have regulated it occasionally as it = went out of whack...
