<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm sorry I can't come, but we had Wally
out here a year ago or so for this very class. I HIGHLY recommend
any of you going if you can. It was extremely informative and educational.
I took that class immediately to many pianos here at UNL with great
results...especially in tone building and now have great respect for his
Natural Felt hammers.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I hope you have a great turn out!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Best,</font>
