1 Fosters and 1 Pilsner Urquell gone with Tilburg Brown Ale waiting 
and Erdinger feeling slighted... ;-}

I asked hewhoismyboss what this Steinway sound he was fearful of 
loosing by reminding him of the different voices our Hamburg D vs: 
NYC D. He, of course, says he wants NY.

Just how much projection and power does one need for a 7' piano in a 
12x12 room?

been cogitatin' a letter re: the emperor's new clothes and early 80s 
rippled soundboards (B in his studio), hammers on steroids causing 
very heavy action (last genuine $&$ hammers installed), very high 
hammer line causing repetition problems, etc. (his home D) and that 
fine teflon back action feel (other prof studio B)

Let's see... genuine Steinway/Kluge/Renner/Mapes. Whut am I forgetting?

Ta ta, Tilburg calling...
