This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Alan, This reminds me of something that happened to me last week. The lady said that she had lost a ring in her grand piano. She and her son had even removed the action to look. It had been two or three months, and she had given up. She had seen me remove the action a few times for work before. So she thought they could do it. I also removed the action and didn't find the ring. Then I happened to think...and removed the music desk guide mount on the right side. The ring was lying between the plate and the rim. Such shouts of joy, I've never heard from a client! The ring was a 1 1/2 carat diamond that had been her mother's. Almost needless to say, she insisted on overpaying in spite of my protests! She's been a good client for years. Perhaps your IPAQ stylus will yet be found! :) Ray ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ray T.

It has disappeared into another dimension, apparently. No where was it to be found in the action, the key frame, the key bed, on the floor, the damper tray and monkey's etc. I searched for that thing for OVER TWO HOURS. Everything in works just fine. No foreign object interfering with with piano action ... . . . . . . . . . . . "Am I on Candid Camera?" Alan R. Barnard Salem, MO --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
