Nope, didn't post it yet. The guy called in and agreed with his assistant that it was too large. I sympathized with him and went over basically what I had written here. I explained again about the 20% non-refundable deposit we have for special orders like this, and offered to take back the piano with a full refund. Then I subtly asked about his son and the new house he was buying in Potomac. The short version is that the guy is giving the larger piano to his son, we're shipping it free of charge, and he's purchasing a smaller Disclavier for his other residence. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

Well done. Nothing like a win win! |

Great! ![]() Looks like my original suggestion of "gift the big piano to a charity and buy a smaller one" got the closest. Just need to substitute "charity" with "son."
