Hmmmmmmmmmmmm - yes.

The audio and video clips seem to be about as good as that kind of thing 
can reasonably get over IP (Internet) transmission.  Pretty striking 
differences between "before" and "after".

I wonder what they will sound like in the flesh...let alone what other 
effects they might produce.  Kind of hard to imagine them being made out of 
stainless.  What happens if they get grunged up?

Ed, I'm sure we're all going to want your feedback on this!  As I think of 
it, such an upright as you suggest would be a really good place to test 
these things in a "real world" setting...still, it won't fix the jumping 
pins and rendering problems....

Best.

Horace
