Thank you for confirming for me that those in the piano business are idiots about that kind of thing.
I can see it now..."Uhhh....she had cancer. My dog died of cancer. I bet she'd love to hear about my dog."
Believe it or not, I used to sell pianos. 2 years, while I was finishing a music degree. Never got along with the boss very well and quit to take a better job. Few years later, I saw one of the music teachers I'd worked with and he acted as if I'd just stepped out of an open grave. Turns out the IDIOT boss told everyone that I had terminal cancer and would die of it any day now. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure he told everyone I left so I could go die.
The boss was a gossipy jerk who did that sort of thing all the time, but until the teacher told me, I'd never known he'd done it to me.
