Ron, Don, 

I agree with Dean on this one.  I'm chiming in a bit late after a couple of 
days camping and away from electronica(nice, it was).  Despite the seriously 
divergent philosophies on piano building, and the many things mentioned that I 
really haven't dealt with on a professional basis, I find the argument 
fascinating, and certainly appreciate all of the time put into the posts from both of 
you.  I look forward to a time when I can see one of your pianos, Ron.  Can't 
make it to Australia in the near future.  Any plans to send one stateside?
