And I am happy as a clam that things have opend up and been quantified to 
such a degree in the past 20 years.....thank God for computers and 
digital scales.  thank God for David Stanwood; he took the action out of 
the "mystical" realm, the guesswork realm, and made it simple for us to 
make a gtrand piano action feel great every single time.....and that's 
science.  Right on.   That said........

A little more substance than what?  Do you think a $1200 computer, or a 
$3000 computer, is better than my wet computer? Please. 

 I would be happy to talk to you about the "mystical" aspects of the 
work, but only if you perceive me as a possible equal. 


Did I hit a "left-brained" nerve?    :---0
