Flat Fact

[Alan]

DC in the GH made it AOK in a rural church -- heat and air not on, mostly --
and in an area of brutal humidity swings. Only have the one example, but it
sure made a huge difference in that piano; totally tamed it.

I don't mind Lesters. Lots of Betsy Ross spinets in this part of the 
world. I'd tune a Lester instead of a GA-1 any day of the week. Really. 
(How's that for an insult to the GA-1?)

Don't know. I have a long-time customer, a public school vocal music 
teacher, that now has a GA-1 that replaced her Acrosonic. The piano 
gets so bad that her family at intervals forbids its use until she can 
get me out to tune. I know I'm supposed to make cracks about how this 
piano is an opportunity for me to sell climate control and frequent 
regular tunings, but frankly, IMHO, the piano is an embarrassment to 
the industry and shouldn't exist. Sometimes you gotta take a stand.
