---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Del, Fine Woodworking did a small feature on pattern-makers, citing them as a highly developed combination of woodworking and sculpture, using either sugar pine or mahogany for materials. I take it that this would be the case for piano plates as well so things haven't changed much since Wolfenden's time. How does this translate to the prices you cited - designers' fees added to pattern-makers' fees, plus testing the forms in sand, and would it be possible to con Kelley or another foundry into letting someone do this by themselves with some guidance just for 1-3 plates? Or does anyone have any customers clamoring for small 19 note per octave grands? Clark ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
