Bill Hausman (who works in a Music Store that does repairs) said:

"Remember, your glowing praise is just as much hearsay as the story of
unsatisfactory work."
------------------------
Exactly the point I was making.

"I don't think budget is the critical thing here."
------------------------
Right COST should not have even been mentioned. Cost or $$$ wasn't an
issue. Someone was unhappy. That personal had an experience. It was
PERSONAL to that person. I don't know anything about that person's
experience I wasn't there. Even if I serviced his clarinet afterward, I
wouldn't know how it got in a particulaer condition now, would I ?

"We have a case of someone spending well over $1000 to get a clarinet
repaired, and then having to take it to ANOTHER repairman to have things
fixed properly, even though those problems were pointed out to the original
repairman upon delivery, "
------------------------
HEARSAY ! I thought you believed in Truth, Justice & the American Way !
Oh, but perhaps some prejudice towards other techs is showing. After all, I
have never heard one tech bash another, right? [ when they attack others,
they attack themselves! Glass houses & all that ... ]

"Had the work been satisfactory, I'm sure the process would have been
considered WORTH the money, but if *I* had been treated that way, the tech
would for the rest of his life be farting in the key of Bb!
-----------------------
How was anybody treated? How can you rush to judgement? Were you there -
were you a party to the transaction ? Did you inspect the Clarinet before &
after Brannen Service? Did you see the receipts for all the expenses?

The crowning issue: Do techs in your Music Store fart all the time? OR,
are you getting this confused with your brain fart? Gee I won't go to your
Music Store, it must smell from gas, right?
