And to be fair... this is wanking the point out of any reasonble context as well. Of course no one means their can be 45 seconds of sustain, which means Dan is saying something else. So why not try and figure out what that something else is instead of repeating this point ? What I dont understand is that Dan said something about 3-4 seconds being increased to 8-9 or something along those lines a couple days ago... Farrel responded, and tho I reacted I said nothing. What (duplexed grand) piano has a 3-4 second sustain for what notes ? Eh Dan ? > > > Del > > _ -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
