Well, I was at Rochester, and I was very impressed with Ron Overs' instrument, which was in the same room with all the others. I tried the others, and have to say honestly I did not have the same "heavens opening" experience you describe, Dale. I am quite used to trying pianos in exhibit halls and whatnot, so I make plenty of allowances. So there you have a different person's perspective. Now the idea of placing a number of instruments on a stage for a trial performance, so people can listen to them all and compare in a decent environment is a great one. I'm all for it, and happy to help make it happen. Regards, Fred Sturm fssturm at unm.edu "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness."
