Kind words Bill, and I thank you for them. I am sure however that we would find
dissagreement on what a PSO is or isnt. I am also sure that our individual
criteria for our judgements would be founded in what each of us believe is in the
best interests for our customers, our own working situation, and the industry at
large. And I am very sure indeed that neither of us would refuse any piano that
at least attempts to produce a truly quality instrument.

The point is that we all make our judgements, and that we should not be afraid to
state them to customers, nor stand by them. After all, one doesnt have to be rude
in turning down a job, or in condemning a piano, one can rather be as informative
in the process as possible, polite and recommend gladly that they get second
opinions. Perhaps they may find someone willing to do a bit of work and that will
satisfy them. Everyone should be happy then.
