Hi Ricard, 
	The extent of my German is 3 semesters.  101 all three times. : (   I did
learn (was a Lehrling according to the dict.)  from a German piano tuner,
but was never sure if he was cussing in High German, Low German, or
Yiddish. 
	It was fun just for the half sentence to consult a Seven Language dict,
and even more fun to put together the post. Yes I was smiling.
	Now liber isn't in my dict. so it must vulgar, or knowing your passion
for pianos, it might be "lieber" but 'for the love of Pete' not sure is
there is such an expression.  So my German is nothing to marvel about.
	It was Leonard Jared (as in arid) of J-B Piano Co. who flew to Germany
to pick outpianos. In the last years, Grotrian. They were in SF, but moved
to Marin
in the 70's.  Leonard was the consummate technician.  Just visiting him
was humbling, awe inspring, and
highly educational.  I could go on and on.
