> Hi folks,

> Dale, thank you for posting those lovely soundboard photos.  I went back 
> to your website and enjoyed the photos there too.
>
> I was thinking what a fascinating repository of piano repair photos has 
> over time been posted to the list.  They would make a great book.
> It would comprise a miscellany of photos of a scope and variety never 
> before assembled.
>
> Think of all the photos sent in by vastly experienced craftsmen doing a 
> huge variety of piano tasks in a wide range of workshop types and 
> settings. Think of the close-up shots of small repair items. Think of the 
> shots of odd bridge/capo/stinging/bearing bar configurations.  Think of 
> the shots of beautiful re-finished pianos.
>
> When can we get to buy the lavish full-colour book?!  If everyone was 
> willing to donate photos and assign copyright to the PTG, and do a 
> write-up on what's in the photos, perhaps a printer could be found, and 
> the PTG could have the profits.  What a fascinating and miscellaneous 
> illustrated repair manual could result!

> Best,
