Free, for the first time buyer of Pure Sound wire. Very reasonable, considering the painstaking work he puts into it to get what he considers optimal. You should contact him directly. He welcomes that.

As the Pure Sound distributor for <st1:place w:st="on">North America</st1:place>, it only makes sense. Juan and I depend on each other. The idea of the "kits" is a brilliant one to make it easy for first-time users to try the wire and have a successful result. While technicians are more than welcome to simply purchase various gauges and go for it, the "kits" are kind of an easy introduction to this wire. <?smaller>Jurgen Goering Piano Forte Supply (250) 754-2440 info@pianofortesupply.com http://www.pianofortesupply.com <?/smaller>On Sep 4, 2007, at 11:50, caut-request@ptg.org wrote:<o:p></o:p> Hi Jim, I agree with Ed. And understand Juan's position as well. Jurgen is selling "kits" of wire plus scales for Steinway M, L and B. Does this have Juan's consent? I think, very strongly, that it ought to. That is precisely the best way to promote use of the wire: make it easy the first time. There's a hassle factor to trying something new, in this case a pretty big one. You have to make a fairly large investment in material. You have to do what is necessary to come up with scaling, which means a lot of measuring and writing down, plus contacting someone or purchasing software or whatever. And you are going to have to learn new techniques for working with a different material. All this on a bit of a bet: some people say it's worthwhile. Is it? If not, you've wasted a good bit of time, money, and irritation. I really like what Jurgen is offering: scale plus enough wire to do a job plus a bit extra. Much less of an investment in time and hassle. If it is as good as people (like Jim Busby <G>) are saying, then you go the extra mile. If not, you're only out a fairly minor investment. <?smaller>Regards, <?/smaller><?smaller>Fred Sturm <?/smaller><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on"><?smaller>University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">New Mexico</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> <?/smaller><?color><?param 0000,0000,EEEC><?smaller>fssturm@unm.edu<o:p></o:p> <?/smaller><?/color></blockquote> </div> </body> </html>
