Though not an inventor myself, I am impressed with your dedication to =
developing and refining the 'art' of piano functioning.
I thank you for that, and for sharing with your 'peers'

  Well Richard Moody, then read the mail Stephen Birket just sent to the =
list.

  (Dr Stephen Birkett, Associate Professor

  Director, Waterloo Piano Systems Group
  Associate Member, Piano Technician's Guild)

  He is quite enthusiastic about the Wurzen punching and his =
investigations prove what I have said all along.
  I will not any longer take part of the discussion because I have done =
my work.
  I have brought these things into life and into the world.
  What you guys want to do with it is your own business.
  I speak for myself only when I say that I am extremely happy with my =
punchings and I know perfectly well what I am saying.

  In an earlier e-mail to the list, I have said that :

  I think that I may say here that it should be clear, after all my =
contributions to this list, that I am not a bs'er , a fraud, or a fake =
story teller.
  These front punchings make all the difference in regard to how a piano =
feels and sounds and they have actually changed and enriched my concepts =
of 'the making of tone'. It has however become clear that, in order to =
get a distinguishable result from these punchings, the instrument has to =
meet certain conditions=20
  unquote

  If you nevertheless choose to call it "another bogus" then I feel =
sorry I spent so much time on apparently nothing(?)

  Thank you very much.
