[pianotech] Piano Built completely in Virginia-pics

[Greg Newell]

Mark,

                Your comments were understandable without an understanding
of what some of us have been saying on this list for years. I assure you
that Terry’s comments were quite tongue in cheek in deed. Sarcasm was
dripping from every word he wrote if only you’d been a list member long
enough to know his stance. I’m very sure he meant no insult.

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.
