Schultz Piano Co & Christopher Columbus

[Kristinn Leifsson]

Ray,

clearly, you weren´t sleeping in your history nor math classes :)


And no one bothered making a piano in honor of  Leifur Eiríksson (Leif 
Ericson).

I´ll have to speak to someone about that.

What a silly reason to make a piano, really, if you think about 
it.  Marketing, that´s all.

Kristinn
