Overlapping strings/starting over

[Barbara Richmond]

Thanks so much to everybody for great suggestions.  These "humble" pianos
certainly have had a way of humbling me!  :-)


Actually, to start a business again isn't sooo horrible.  This time
(compared when I first got started) I have a lot more going for me (I would
hope!).  For instance, I knew after playing the first chord on that Cable
Nelson that some serious damper and back check regulation would be of great
benefit to the touch of the piano.  That lead me to think of a great
game.  Instead of name that tune, see how many notes one has to play to
analyze what regulation needs to be done--and NO peeking!   ;-)
