Mobile Player Piano Service
By Bruce Clark

I think this is a great idea!  I used to travel to peoples homes and
either stay with them, or the more affluent would put me up in a hotel
or motel.  I would rebuild their piano on the spot, usually on their
kitchen table, basement workshop, or a front porch. The mobile workshop
would have been wonderful.

How often have we heard that?

I have found that most piano owners have no conception of how
complicated a player unit can be.  When they see all the work that has
to be done, they are more willing to pay the price.
