Ric, I just had a look on your homepage. You don´t seem to be a dealer. Are you planing to become a dealer? If so, I highly recommend to check out the Wendl & Lung pianos, they are really worth getting involved in. Gregor P.S: it´s funny to read Norwegian. It´s almost understandable for Germans. Isn´t Bergen the city with the most raining days in Europe? :-) > Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 10:49:41 +0100 > From: ricb at pianostemmer.no > To: pianotech at ptg.org > Subject: Essex Uprights > > Hi Paul, Gregor. > > Thanks for your thoughts, I'm a bit surprised this didn't prompt more > replies myself really given the fact we are talking about "They that > Shall not be Named".
