>Was that Ron's point? I didn't read it that way. > >David Love My point was that the piano, while "common" and "familiar" to a lot of pianists, is quite complicated. Pianists aren't going to learn a lot about how the instrument works, or doesn't, by playing it. They might or might not like what they feel and hear, but they aren't normally going to be able to mechanically diagnose it either way. The secondary point was that the pianist trying to get more technically specific information from the tech, will get different answers to the same question from different techs. This was not the primary point. It was to reinforce the observation that pianos are complex. Even members of the technical community disagree on what's what, so how are the pianists expected to know what their tech may very well not? That's it. Ron N
