Think of the effort and imagination involved in finding so many ways of apparently screwing up the process of producing a piano. Its nothing short of admirable when it comes right down to it. Amazing that so many of these wonderfull companies went two tits up broke when you come to think of it ! Never mind that the customer had to pay good money for these things in good faith that they were buying a finished product to begin with..... Afterall.... "you dont pay for what you get".... or was it "you pay for what you dont get"... wait..... ahh heck whatever... grin... -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
