The Nossaman Steinway

[Stéphane Collin]

hello

I think Ron has said the most pertinent thing about this all :
the less the customer knows about it, the more he relies on pre-digested 
commonly accepted rules (Steinway is the best, genuine parts are a must).
I would add to this that like in every human matter, it goes about might 
(not necessarily beauty).  And a feature commonly considered by the large 
community as mighty is highly desirable.  As soon as the large community 
will identify your work as analogous to something mighty (that is being told 
by everyone it is so), you will be mighty.  Beauty is spared for a smaller 
group of conoisseurs, and I'm sure you already know them (and hopefully 
enjoy them).

My two euro cents.

Stéphane Collin.
