[pianotech] Is this the work of an RPT?

[Duaine Hechler]

Sorry to say but - Ed - open mouth and insert foot ......

At least in our area, there is NO economic advantage. My mentor and RPT of 30+ years is losing business just like the 
rest of us non-RPT;s because of the countries economics and the better issue of persons going to electronic keyboards.

Now, chomp down on your foot.
