---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Mr. Barnard, Although he's not with the company anymore, you can reach him at 915-727-4138. His name is Salvador Ortiz, and he was with the company for 29 years. He didn't design the part you're whining about, but he was in charge of manufacturing. He's a real nice fellow, and has several great stories about the company that built more American pianos than all the rest for many years, and provided a livelihood for a lot of musicians, teachers, technicians, and vendors. Go ahead.... give him a call. I think you may find that he is neither spineless or dung-brained. Inconsiderate? No.... never. Pin-headed? Not at all. Short-sighted? Well.... he wasn't the owner, so his sight was sometimes .... constrained.... not necessarily short. Cost-cutting and pencil-pushing? You bet. That's how it works, you know. Just try to build something without cutting a few costs and pushing a few pencils. Regards, Guy Nichols, RPT Ft.
