[CAUT] tone color

 Ron. Now that's uncanny.  I did not read this before sending mine under a different header.
 Its been on my mind for a day or so to chime in but I wanted to do so constructively.

I heard one of my pianos in a big room for the first time in Rochester, with the B, and it really floored me. I thought it was absolutely gorgeous. Listening, I got the impression the pianist was looking for the bottom of the pianissimo, deeper with each pass, and never found the limit. I asked him about it later, and he confirmed, but said he was used to much more top end power. Dale Erwin leaned in and disagreed with him, saying it had plenty of power out in the room. Thanks Dale. 
 
So that's what we have. If you must have a piano that sounds like what you're used to, keep buying pianos you're used to and rebuilding them like you're used to, and never deviate. I see no point in redesigning pianos that reproduce what's already available everywhere, and don't intend to try. I REALLY like the sound these things produce, and if I can find enough customers who like them too, I'll keep doing them.
