Sorry, John. Obviously I've offended you. I guess it was just my
over-reaction to being informed that, in your opinion, I was both
presumptuous (for thinking I could improve Steinway pianos by altering their
perfectly shaped and located bridges) and stupid (for altering the stringing
scale on those hundreds of Steinway grands I rebuilt over the years and
thinking their sound actually improved as a result).

My apologies...
