[pianotech] Hansing - "The Pianoforte And Its Acoustic Properties"

[hgreeley]

Hi, John,

Please let us know what you think of this book after you've had a chance 
to look at it.  I've picked up a number of books from Nabu and had to 
return several for exchange because of binding or related problems.

On the other hand, I'd love to have an English copy...

Thanks very much.

Best.

Horace
