Yes, but, I would be willing to install the Wapin in all the pianos I 
rebuild, but not at $325 per installation.  IMHO I would think it would be 
advantageous to the Wapin folks if their technology became the standard for 
all pianos instead of rarely used.  Look no further than the PC and the MAC.  
It is simple economics instead of receiving a couple thousand from my shop 
each year for two dozen installations they will receive $0.

But that is their concern, not mine.
