[CAUT] Brodmann pianos

[Richard Brekne]

Come on Ron...  you seriously trying to tell us that  posts like your 
"sheep-dip" post where you outright state in the context of the present 
discussion the following:

    "If anyone is narrow minded, it's the individual that adheres to the
    cantilever and short back scale while ignoring the potential for
    improvement of a different approach"

is anything but tantamount to declaring outright that anyone who adheres 
to the cantilever approach is <<wrong>>.....  and worse then wrong but 
specifically narrow minded to use your own words ? Give me a break. Are 
you trying to tell everyone that its outright  impossible to seriously 
delve into these matters and simply come up with logically arrived at, 
rationally reasoned, objective and considered OPPOSITE conclusions to 
your own ?  You really want to go there ?

There are no universal truths involved here.... at least none equating 
any particular design configuration with some piano tone concept that 
should be imposed on the whole piano world as "best", "better", or the 
like.

Again... I'd say...and often do... the same thing to those who want to 
impose ANY particular piano sound / design concept on the rest of us.

        Where did either Jim or I say that everybody else was wrong,
        and why is it so inevitably phrased and misrepresented that way?

        Could be, but I didn't say that, and you shouldn't be
        indicating such from impressions of implications, particularly
        second hand ones, now should you?
