I just wanted to tell you that your introduction to the Stanwood-method was
one of the highlights at the Nordic Convention!  A well prepared, and
brilliant performed show,    ; -)      made us really listening without
falling asleep (some of the participants did have some problems with that
later on that day...).  It was also a good idea having your own stand during
the whole convention. As far as I could see, you got the opportunity to give
individual demonstrations of the "Stanwood-method" to a lot of Scandinavian
collegues.

At the 2002-convention in Bergen, I hope it would be possible for you to
give a "follow-up" lecture on the C-grand at your university. If you don`t
mind, I will suggest it to Nils Henrik!

By the way: Why should YOU (one of the tallest pianotuners in
Scandinavia!!!) feel very small among us?      Grin...

I forgot to ask you a little question yesterday: Does the Stanwood-method
include taking any measures or weights of the dampers / damper-levers, or
does it only include the action and keybord?

Thanks for a great weekend, Richard!

<Thanks again Sweden !! You guys and gals put on a great show !!
