Glad to hear it Dale. Seems to me like it would be potentially good all around for the PTG. Involving the public directly in these things in as many ways as is possible seems full of potential..... Guys like yourself can perhaps make a bit more of a mark for yerself, other products can sell, and maybe there is room even for a class or two open to the general public... general informative stuff... Cheers RicB Ric Ric I agree This is David Andersen & my thoughts exactly. Yes & finally we/ & others would be more inclined to bring our "Custom rebuilt Pianos" (value added pianos) to show why these pianos can compete with new ones at new or close to new prices. Every body understands the word "custom" & the inherent quality that that usually brings to a product so why not in the piano world? The time has come IMO It is a very big deal & expense for the small Custom rebuilder to have one let alone 2 or more finished show pieces ready & tricked out at exactly the right time to show his peers & public. That's why more guys don't do it. It's enormous undertaking. After all we don't have the advantage of just un-crating something ,give a floor tuning & show it as saleable. Yes it would give our illustrious guild more of presence, over time, were it an oft repeated affair. It could even be bulled as a show or some special sales & or at least viewing event. Dale Erwin
