Have to agree with you here on this one, Bill. In many sections of California,
there are fine technicians who never see a fine piano because there aren't any
that they could work on. Our job, should we accept the challenge, is to make
the customer feel that the ''whatever'' spinet, or low cost ''stencil'' piano
is the finest piano that they could have purchased. In many ways, that is far
more challenging than keeping the Charles Baldweindorfer in top shape and
playing well. (Oh yes, I do enjoy working on them, just don't get to as often
as I would wish.)
