---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Dave, So, having just given Danny a sound, and, I might add, richly deserved thrashing, about I recommend that he get you another 7/8 machine? Perferably, a D. Fact is, different attempts have come and gone over the years with this problem. None of them have been overly successful. Obviously, part of that is that there has not been the market push behind it that there is now. At the same time, the wunderkindlein do need to remember that, unless there name is something like "Kissin", they are not going to be in a position to do much except play whatever they find on stage - and, they need to just learn to live with that truth. And, no, none of us have any business moving pianos. What we can do is one thing. What we should do (personally and/or professionally) is something else again. Best.
