Just got back from tuning a Lowry PSO/POS. While suffering it's foibles, two things reared their ugly heads: 1. An epoxy repair I did a few years ago, on the bass bridge, seems to be failing! Yikes! After the initial R&D of the 70's epoxies, I've pretty much been failure free. Almost to the point of considering an epoxy repair as "permanent"! Definately a rude awakening.<G> 2. I've seen this in many POS/PSO pianos: "Scaled by Charles Frederich Stein". And, looking farther, I find: "High Impact Action designed for Lowry by Charles Frederich Stein". Hmmm? The question is this: Was Charles Frederich Stein ever associated with any good piano companies? Most, that I've seen, are mediocre at best. Just kind of wondering about how he became a "notable" designer and who he really was. Anyone know? As for the epoxy thang, it's back to doing again. Terry, pay attention buddy<G> Just ribbin' ya. And, NO, there are no Pichers@!<G> Best, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain of the Tool Police Squares R I
