[pianotech] Web Site Usefullness

[James Grebe]

Thank you for your comment.I have had no adverse effects with all that I do 
on one website.  Sometimes someone orders caster cups and pens.  When I am 
not busy out tuning I am inside making things.  The most calls I get from 
the site are people who want me to appraise their pianos for resale because 
of the histories of the various companies I have posted.  People actually 
think I can tell them what their piano is worth by the brand name.
