If the Piano 300 exhibit at the Smithsonian showed anything, it was that
there is interest among the general public in pianos. A piano calendar might
be of general interest, but would be difficult to produce I suspect, because
of the difficulty of collecting high quality photographs of interesting
pianos. Such a project would likely be beyond what the PTG could pull off
unless we could obtain the rights to an existing collection of photos. A
calendar project would be very expensive because the inventory would have a
much, much shorter life than our other products, that is, a 2002 calendar
would not be worth anything to us in 2003.
