---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Don: I agree with you wholeheartedly. I tried to get them to consider a Kawai= EX, but while they listened politely, they didn't do anything. The Kawai= dealer in Plano (just north of Dallas) has an EX there and it is VERY= NICE. Actually, they also have a GS100 that's not bad. The days of having only one brand of excellent piano is long gone= thankfully. dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 1/25/01 at 8:03 PM Donald Mannino wrote: Dave, Boo, Hiss!

Ah well, we just need to get these pianos out there a little more so people= know about them. We're working on it.
