Stuart Pianos

[Kerry Cooper]

David,

Even here in Australia where the Stuart piano is made, it is very hard for a
technician who is not one of Wayne's fold to have a good look at his piano.
We are deemed to be below him. He has stated that there is only a handful of
tuners who are capable of servicing a Stuart piano (and he wonders why he is
not proclaimed as the saviour of the piano industry in Australia).

He refers to Ron O as a pretender who is playing on the fringes of piano
manufacturing. I will leave it there
