[pianotech] wurzen front punching felt

[Ryan Sowers]

As the original poster regarding the Crecendo punchings, I have to
whole-heatedly agree with all those who have come to Jurgen's defense. I
would encourage "John" doe piano tech to apologize for the hurtful email. I
also am aware that Jurgen is not only trying to run a piano supply business
but he is actually out there fixing pianos as well! Hat's off to you Jurgen!
