to Kevin Riggs: <Hi folks! After the events of the past week I could use a nice distraction. And since I love music and pianos, why not a piano related topic? Are there any good books out there that give basic information for a neophyte piano technician on simple things concerning piano design and construction?> The book "Theory And Practice of Piano Construction" by William B. White, 1975, Dover Publications (originally "Theory and Practice of Pianoforte Building", 1906) is interesting and worthwhile reading for any technician and probably most of it still holds true today. But you won't find answers to your other questions about the specifics of icing. --Dave Nereson, RPT, Denver
