Holy-moly!  EE-yikes.  Not putting anyone on the spot are you, Vince?

At the risk of being purged from the list <slight genuflection in the
direction of the gentle state of Utah>, I must admit to being guilty of
reading some of the stuff here--stuff from those employed at manufacterers--
with the proverbial grain of salt.  I mean no personal insult or attack
by that, it's just that, in trying to maintain an objective viewpoint,
one must accept that a certain amount of propaganda is bound to be mixed
in with anything that comes from within a manufacturer whether it's a
widget maker or a piano maker. <Taking a deep, cleansing breath after that

When the email starts arriving with colored, glossy brochures attached, I
may become a little less agreeable.  :-)  <== obligatory smiley

<End humor>

Speaking of which:  Has anyone else noticed the sudden increase in
snailmail (for you "newbies," that's how we refer to the mail you get
from the non-electronic postalperson) traffic from various individuals in
the piano industry?  Maybe it's just an active imagination....
