Sorry folks, I guess that was a bit harsh. ( Screws, Beautiful Screws )

[gordon stelter]

Sorry folks,
   I guess that was a bit harsh. After all, it is
American companies ( not Asian ) which have, in their
generosity, shipped jobs overseas to where they are
needed most!
     And by making screws lighter they have cut down
on fuel use for shipping, hence global warming!!!  So
perhaps Dubya's right, and we SHOULD just let American
industries regulate themselves, as they so obviously
have our very best interests at heart!
     Glad to have "seen the light"!
     Thump

P.S. I also have no gripe with Kawaii. I have always
liked Kawaii, both as a piano and an organization. It
is the cheaper Yamahamamotos which turn to cigar boxes
and rubber bands in a few short years, and I have
always resented that company for "allowing" buyers to
think that they were getting a top of the line, higher
grade instrument, when they were not! ( In my opinion.
Perhaps this practice is no longer practised?)
    But this attitude was confirmed recently when I
was surprised  to learn that Disclavier systems come
in several "grades"!  When I asked our local
Yamaharley representative whether the buyer is
informed as to which grade they are getting, he said 
( with great concern in his voice )  "No, that would
only confuse them!" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
     I rest my case.
