Jurgen Goering is WAY out of line.

[Ric Brekne]

Hi folks

I am today shocked as dismayed. Jurgen Goering has taken the discussion 
on this list about the Bluthner instrument and written a letter to 
Bluthner pianos without my knowledge informing (warning more likely by 
the sounds of Mr Bluthners sudden inquiry to me)  him of my intentions 
to rebuild the instrument and of the some possibilites for changing the 
rib scale.  As I dont read German I dont know exactly what was 
written... but certainly am going to find out whats there.

I want to underline right off how disgusted I am at Jurneg for 
interfering in another technicians work and projects, and for the 
obvious lack of respect for proffesional ethics his action displays.  
Jurgen did not consult me about this.. he just did it behind my back.  
What this says about his respect for other technicians whom he does not 
know really anything about I leave it up to you all to judge. 

If we can not share information, questions, and experiences on this list 
without the risk of such blatent interference then this list becomes 
quickly  useless, and indeed dangerous. 

As for you Jurgen.... be it known that I contacted Bluthner within by 
telephone two days after we took ownership of it. I talked to Ingbert 
Blüthner's secretary and was promised  he would return the call as the 
instrument was of interest. I have written emails since then on two 
occasions informing them of this instrument and also called twice  So I 
am way ahead of you.  Frankly... if you were right here in front of me 
now... well its good for you that you arent. 

Disgusted
