Hi Dave,

Was most interested to read your report on Ron N's remanufactured D. 
I've been fortunate to receive a few images of the work in progress, 
and was expecting big things from this project. Glad to hear your 
review, and I look forward to hearing a recording of the instrument 
when one becomes available.

Ron O.
