[pianotech] Piano Built completely in Virginia-pics

[perrys piano restorations]

If three years of hard work, intelligent design, and purest of love is witchcraft, than a statement like "the piano was perfected over 100 years ago" pretty much sums up how some people can't think forward.

 

Your words Terry are an insult without cause.  You have neither seen, nor heard the piano.  Furthermore, you could not do what I have done.  Quite definately you are simply wrong.

 

This is the result of my hard work and prayers.  I only serve God anyway.
