[pianotech] Square Grands v.s. Square Pianos

[Joseph Garrett]

Keith,
I suggest you check with Jack Wyatt and see what he says. Since he,
undoubtedly had something to do with the PTG "definition as you have
sighted. As for me supplying Websites, etc., since I am a reputed 'puter
dufus and really have a hard time traversing the damned net, as it applies
to my wants, I damned sure am not going to waste my time searching for
that. As for what started this, I'm really not sure, since the original
thread had/has to do with Electronic Keyboards! What the hell is your
problem Keith?
