I am really=20 happy that you liked the seminar, and hey man! I liked it too. I think it is very important to spread knowledge and especially=20 knowledge which is scarce. The knowledge about voicing piano's is very scarce and that's why I=20 have tried so very hard to get what was available for me. Because voicing seemed to be so incredibly vague and hard to come by, I=20= have made it my personal goal to go to my limit. This was not easy,=20 because at least 30 years went by, I had to travel a lot and I spent=20 countless lonely hours in an industrial environment of hissing factory=20= pipes and industrial ugliness in general. All technicians, who are able to go to these place of intense learning=20= (hey Richard my friend, he is going back to Japan tomorrow!) know about=20= this, but they all want to go back for more, and as fast as possible. For those, who are not able to do this, these seminars can be of=20 importance. Next to that, it is very nice to meet a bunch of colleagues=20= all at once, especially because we, in our trade, are mostly alone.=20 Every gathering, convention or weekend together with colleagues, is a=20 good place to exchange knowledge and make new friends. I hope to be able to keep contributing more to these very nice meetings=20= in various countries. Thanks for your highly appreciated technical help and your influence in=20= regard to the Museum for Musical Instruments in Bruxelles. More power to you! friendly greetings from Andr=E9 Oorebeek "where Music is, no harm can be" ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
