Apollo grand

[Robin Blankenship]

Susan,
Excellent point you make. Actually, I chose the Model T for as an example
for just the reasons you mention. Not to denigrate the model or the person
who has one. But to put it into perspective, vis-a-vis a Rolls, a Mercedes,
a Caddie, a Buick, etc. For a really awful piano, perhaps the air polluter
formerly known as a Trebant would be appropriate. Of modest means myself, I
would NEVER run down a customer's piano to them. Often, that IS the best
they can afford., And, we all NEED music. It is NOT a luxury, or an ornament
to society. If the client needs that piano, and it is all they can afford, I
give it all the respect I can.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Robin
