Stephen; Certainly it will work ! It will surely catch on ! Just think of the prospects.... Possible advertisement in future Music Trades Magazine: "Instrument Dealers, Band directors, Stage and Ochestra Musicians, each have acclaimed the 'KLINE Portable Page Partitioner'. Acclamations include vast praise for the ease of use, the high degree of visibilty under all light conditions, and the automatic page turning/advancing features. Also singled out for special praise is the ability of storing 100,000 sheets of musical notation, while retaining the ability to access any particular melody within 1 nanoNewton. Since it's introduction a decade ago the 'KLINE PPP' has undergone many changes and now is offered in six different models each with all features available. From the 20" wide 12" tall and 3/8" thick "pit ochestra" model, weighing 1lb. to the 4" x 6" x 1/4" weighing 2 ozs. All models have the highly desirable "note following" (TM) capablity requiring no interruption of the performers manipulation of any instrument. In addition the Ochestral and Symphonic Piano models include a program to assist in maintaining pianos at the proper pitch and temperament. Any technician may set any desired temperament on the piano through accessing one of the 300 temperaments stored in "Historical Tempers" (TM) program. This optional facility is available as a portion of the 'KLINE PPP' and is an ETD combining temperament settings and a tuning program allowing "standard" ET based and HT based temperaments to be applied, at any desired pitch, to the instrument. Also available is an optional temperament designing aid that allows a temperament to be designed for any particular piano. Said S. KLINE, the inventor of the "KLINE PPP", " I have been working on an automatic tuning system but the problems may be too difficult for me to overcome in my small research facility here in Philmanth. Mr. S. Birkett is comming on the team next year and the focus of his efforts will be to try and perfect this automatic system. " Kline also said " it will be nice to have Stephen on board because after intial resistance he has become one of the PPPs biggest boosters" The "KLINE PPP" is available through your local Music dealers and all piano technicians Nation wide. Jim Bryant (national marketing director for "KLINE PPP".) "they said it wouldn't fly but you will have to admit it floats awfully well" Faintly Dull
