Stickers and logos

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Ric,
             I was thinking of sticking a large size logo on the house side 
of the piano, just to let every one know it was no longer brand X.    BUT I 
WONDER IF THAT WOULD CAUSE A STIR.   <G>  Right beside it a damp chaser 
logo.  Then a Renner Hammer logo.
Etc.   piano can look like a tuned up, formula 1 racing brand.   Monte 
Carlo, here we come.   Suppliers please remit discount rebate.
Joking aside, many retailers install a small sticker with store logo and 
phone number, and no one raises an eye brow.
I often install engraved brass plates on pianos that have been donated to 
institutions, by individuals or groups.   I see nothing wrong in 
this.   Good people need to be acknowledged.  Just do it with good taste.

On major rebuilding jobs I neatly write the data on number 1 bass key, for 
posterity or future techs. Over size pins, or new block etc.

regards Roger.

PS   that Steinway at the Grieg Academy was very nice, good Job. Nice open 
and transparent sound at ppp.  No doubt you have tweeked it some more since.
