[pianotech] query about insurance

[wjstuner at juno.com]

Thank you Charles and John for the response.  I've been in business 38 years and broke a glass globe from a lamp once, but never damaged anything else.  This store owner is not the problem.  It his accountants and the IRS evidently.  I don't do rebuilding or refinishing, nor do I move pianos, so I decided to be self insured when it came to liability.  Maybe I'll retire at 63.  I'm having so much fun!
