FWIW,
There was a Rebuilder's Gallery in Providence, RI in 1998 designed by =
Evelyn
Smith and put together with a bit of help from here. The space lent =
itself
to creative use and Evelyn had the vision and courage to implement the
program. We also had a smaller scale version in Crystal City, VA in 2000
where David Hughes and Shawn Hoar brought and showed recently rebuilt =
Mason
& Hamlin BB grands. Also, Jack & Rick Wyatt brought some interesting =
pianos
to show as well. Laura Olsen coordinated a mini concert at each break =
and
did a great job. In recent years there have been space issues that have =
made
such a display difficult. I would love to see it again but I am glad I =
won't
have to meet Chris Robinson's tuner at 5AM again....
Best,
Dale

  Hi Kent
   If memory serves I believe there was a rebuilders hall of fame in
Maryland  & somewhere else & I was there although not displayed . There =
were
displays of custom rebuilt  BB Mason & Hamlins by Shawn Hoar& David =
Hughes &
several others whom,  I don't recall & I can tell you the buzz & the
interest was very great on the part of other Technicians in attendance
there.=20
   What I find is there is lots a talk & not enough show so when the =
show
happens there is considerable support & enthusiasm for the guys & there
pianos displayed. It also puts feet & reality to all the things we spend
hundreds of hours learning. It's huge Show & tell. & is inspiring to =
others
including me. Inspiring enough to challenge the next genreration of guys =
to
step up a see its' possible.=20
  My Extreme gratitude & Thanks to Nick Gravagne for all his writings =
,Ken
Hannah for his gracious mentoring, David Hughes for his collegial =
sharing,
John Hartman for his treatise on effects of  down bearing on tone & =
others
who stepped up for me back when I needed information & help. Jack =
Krefting
Sally Jamison now Phillips for teaching this stuff.  Thanks to so many =
other
guys/gals
  A picture's worth a thousand words & so it is in this case as well.
 Yes I think there is interest.!
