Nice to see this reference figure... I suppose with a price index of about 5 %
ya'all should be up around 35 grand a year now.... sheesh thats not much in
todays world... especially over there where you have to pay for what the rest of
us view as basic human rights...grin... no no no.. I didnt say that....

No, seriously tho,, Shouldnt every self respecting seasoned piano tech be
