	But if you start to look at the piano in front of you with a lot of  
pre-conceived opinions - that hammers need to be at least X weight,  
that ratios are "good" when they are in X parameters, that X density  
of felt is "the good stuff" - well, I think that you are failing to  
look at the piano in front of you.
