Oh -- information on factory tours! Like the suit proudly telling us tubular rails continue to be used in their verticals since the beginning (we showed him the wooden rails). The 16 degree angle for tuning pins (quoth the supervisor at the E.Rochester Aeolian plant). And the guy showing us around the Falcone/Mason & Hamlin factory proudly telling us about the high quality woods being used ". . . and all the bridge caps are made of balsa wood!"
