[pianotech] Piano Built completely in Virginia-pics

[Bill Jeffreys]

Gentleman,

Terry's remark was what we call sarcasm.  He was refering to those (think 
S&S) that think the piano evolved to it's highest point a century ago and 
can not be perfected beyond it's current perfection.  You will notice the 
symbol   ;-0  following his post.  That is smiley face of sorts, a commonly 
used symbol in emails and text to show emotions....such as humor.   One 
only has to see a few of Terry's posts to know that he is an innovator 
himself and not afraid of exploring the limits of piano technology...and I 
don't even know they guy !!

Now can we relax please?

I need a drink and I don't even drink.
