PTG Web page / "Rebuilt" vs. "Reconditioned"

[Wallace Scherer]

Jim,

That looks really good. It should have its separate page on the PTG 
website if it doesn't already. So MANY potential customers would 
appreciate it.

By the way, I often refer people to the PTG website and have a reference 
to it on different brochures I produce, but have never heard but one 
comment from potential piano buyers (very positive). 

Has anyone else ever gotten feedback from potential piano buyers about 
the PTG web page?
