              Thank you for being so forthright honest and down right self 
effacing. Congratulations Avery ,As the founding member and still President 
of Piano rebuilders anonymous let me
 extend to you a free ,yes ,absolutely free member ship. Oh yes it's free as 
long as you continue to reveal ,embarass and humiliate your self in front of 
us on this world wide web of piano techs.by telling all of us of the 
absolutely ridiculous things you do, (Mostly ) to other peoples pianos .
   So allow me to congratulate you once again for coming clean, coming out of 
the closet, spilling the beans, telling all, confessing your sins and short 
comings, and being all that you can be in Piano Rebuilders anonymous.
