St> acoustic pianos sales are slower than digital sales. The St> reasons St> being IMHO that the prices of digitals are lower and that the St> perceived advantages St> of digitals (to the buying public, if not to piano techs) are greater. St> Jim DeRocher I have noticed that at piano store where I tune, the owner and all the sales people make a point of showing every customer who walks through the door the Yamaha digital piano and all its features. They do this even if the customer says they are only interested in an acoustic piano. Yamaha has sent several secret shoppers in who presented the sales people with crisp $100 dollar bills because they were shown the Clavinova even after saying they weren't interested. I wonder how we could convince some manufacture to do this with acoustic pianos? Scott Johnson Auburn, California scott.e.johnson@24stex.com ___ Blue Wave/DOS v2.21 [NR]
