Ron O. and Terry,
Thanks to you both for your responses: a few points are below.

The small shop redesign or customization certainly has a place. I don't
think I have anywhere in previous postings indicated otherwise.
However, once again, what is the measure of success? The functional
utility of a piano is, as Terry says, somewhat difficult of
discernment. A car can go faster, or ride better, etc., but a piano?
Is it better simply and by definition because it has had extensive
modifications? Or simply because the modifier may sincerely believe and
claim so? I doubt it. It has got to sound better, play better and, in
general, be a better method of artistic expression, something greatly
open to interpretation. I only object, in general, to the claim that
everything else except the present new, improved, customized design, is
inadequate - a claim, I might add, which readily leaves behind simple
common sense. Nevertheless, thanks for the commentary.
Regards, Robin Hufford
