Pianos are as individual as the people who own them. One ol' boy explained it to me this way; "There are some people who, when you meet them, you just want to slap!" I'm probably in that category, but I try to be the best I can be. You can only make that Whitney the best IT can be. Just don't try to compare it with anything else, and try to leave it better than you found it. Conrad Hoffsommer, RPT, MPT, CCT, PFP, ACS, CRS.
