Tho I have never heard of this from Schimmel. Schimmel is partly owned (or was) by Yamaha tho so I suppose some Yamaha philosophy is seeping in. As far as Oslo Techs,,, pehaps you mean Jan Elefsen for one ? Did you meet a Nils Henrik Jansen at Schimmel ? He is in Bergen now. In anycase I know many of the techs in Oslo, so if there is anyone in particular you want to get in contact with, drop me a private line at the address below and I will hunt them down for you Cheers RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
