Bosendorfer SN

[Horace Greeley]

Hi, Isaac!

Wow!  Great to hear from you.  I hope all is well.

Quoting Isaac Sadigursky <irs.pianos@earthlink.net>:

Sounds like some other well-known makes...

HAH!  That would be Paul...hope he likes Japanese kreplach!...hmmm...now
that I think of it, he might have trouble explaining that gefilte has to be
chopped, not ground...Lost in Translation, as it were.

> we miss him here.

You bet!  Very solid; and good in a pinch.

>in the past he bailed me out a few times.

More than once...I really liked what he was doing with the older style music
desks...very good work; and (perhaps too) reasonably priced.

I've heard his name around.  David Love, also on this list, was looking for
a leg for an "O".  Jerry can probably do it.

Thanks, Isaac!

Hope to see you sometime.

Best to you and yours!

Horace
