Acrosonic

[Roger C Hayden]

Hi Clyde,

It's unmistakable.  I looks like cut up pieces of flat steel welded
together in the shape of a piano plate.  Lots of welds, everywhere, yet
all the pins, bearings, bolts, etc. in the right place.  It tells me that
if a man wanted to design his own piano from scratch and could weld, he
could do it.

I can't weld.

Roger Hayden, RPT

PS.  I enjoyed the Allentown Convention, too.  The Snyders are always a
kick.  And my wife can't believe how much I charged for tools.  Men and
their toys!!
