<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: caut Digest, Vol 1095, Issue 26</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Hi all, Regarding the news from Hamburg, I just returned from the California State Convention yesterday and heard the same thing from Eric Shandell and Kent Webb. They weren’t specific about the regulation of the Hamb B, but did  say Steinway New York and Hamburg were getting closer together which we see from the reintroducing of the O model. Kent said that New York buys and holds the sound board  material for both locations....same material, even though the Hamburg boards are thicker. Kent Webb also stated the what you heard about tapping the strings. Dave....I have that Fujan Hammer and love it.  How did you get that extension?
