[pianotech] ideal shop size

[William Monroe]

Hey John,

Mine is 20x40 and it's tight, but workable.  I've got four instruments set
up right now - M, O, 5' no name, and a 9'.  Three would be more reasonable,
but it works.  I'd sure be happy to have say a 15 x 15 or so finish room.
I'd say shoot for 1000 sq. ft. and maybe a finish room.  More later, gotta
go to bed.
