Didn't even use the "s" word either... (supercilious).

The only thing problematic about the D is that gang front 
termination piece, and I think that should be curable (haven't 
had the chance to try it on a D yet, though the SD worked 
great).  Either piano is improvable, and the D more so than 
the SD, I'd think. Just needs some rearrangement.

Let me modefile it for you Ken. I think I can improve it's 
acceptance rating.
