List,

   For those of you who are as "challenged" as I am about converting
currency, below is a link for help in doing that.
   For instance, from a post Roger Jolly made yesterday, here are the
conversions from that site:

>for $4,000. Canadian, we can replace butts, shanks,
>hammers,dampers, strings, oversize pins, and all key bed and bushing felt.

   This is $2849.61 American

>The result of the refurbishing is invariably superior to
>the touch and tone quality of say a Yamaha model U1 that retails in Canada
>for $9,500

   This is $6767.83 American.

   How about it Canandians? Is this pretty close?
   With a lot more list members from other countries now, this might be
handy to know about. Plus any travelling or parts ordering from another
country. The site has just about any country listed you could want.
