[CAUT] Pure Sound M scale

[Fred Sturm]

Hi Jim,
	I agree with Ed. And understand Juan's position as well. Jurgen is  
selling "kits" of wire plus scales for Steinway M, L and B. Does this  
have Juan's consent? I think, very strongly, that it ought to. That  
is precisely the best way to promote use of the wire: make it easy  
the first time. There's a hassle factor to trying something new, in  
this case a pretty big one. You have to make a fairly large  
investment in material. You have to do what is necessary to come up  
with scaling, which means a lot of measuring and writing down, plus  
contacting someone or purchasing software or whatever. And you are  
going to have to learn new techniques for working with a different  
material. All this on a bit of a bet: some people say it's  
worthwhile. Is it? If not, you've wasted a good bit of time, money,  
and irritation.
	I really like what Jurgen is offering: scale plus enough wire to do  
a job plus a bit extra. Much less of an investment in time and  
hassle. If it is as good as people (like Jim Busby <G>) are saying,  
then you go the extra mile. If not, you're only out a fairly minor  
investment.
