S&S XRM

[Farrell]

If you don't get enough direct info from this list here, you may want to 
contact Ferdinand Pointer at The Piano Company in Clearwater, Florida. 
http://www.thepianocompany.com/

Ferd is a PTG PRT and has been a Chapter officer probably about 20 times. He 
has been rebuilding player systems since shortly after the earth's crust 
cooled. He will know everything and anything (and more!) than you'll ever 
need to know about what you are looking at.

And I'm pretty sure he will tell you that you can do it with appropriate 
guidance.

Also, you can try Debra Legg (most likely an RPT - although I don't know 
right off hand and am too lazy to look it up) - she used to work with Ferd 
doing a lot of player work, but moved to the NorthEast a couple years ago - 
she is in the directory, participates on this list and advertises in the PTG 
Journal for her key services (very nice work BTW) and besides all that, 
she's a great gal!

Good luck with it.
