I've apparently missed something. > Ron N It was part of the large display, including Steingraebers with and without carbon fiber boards. A used Baldwin in the mix featured about a one octave retrofit in the octave 5 - 6 area. It was quite striking in contrast to the non-retrofit notes. I thought it sounded like a Wapin job on steroids. Supposedly retrofit kits were to be sold, probably with licensing. The US distributor was to be Atlantic Music in Florida. Nothing much seems to have happened since. Regards, Fred Sturm fssturm at unm.edu http://www.youtube.com/fredsturm
