Tim I didn't say I didn't like the piano. I just said I couldn't tell the difference, mostly because of the noise in the hall. That's something that can't be helped. You should know I am a strong proponent of the Wappin system. If I had a chance to listen to the piano in a quiet environment, I'm sure it would have made a difference.  Wim -----Original Message----- From: tcoates1@sio.midco.net To: College and University Technicians <caut@ptg.org> Sent: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 3:19 am Subject: Re: [CAUT] Young Chang - Weber with Wapin in Anaheim <div id=AOLMsgPart_0_70935ce0-108b-4329-9456-fc339e2624f9 style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: #000; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff">Wim,    You are right Michael asked for an honest opinion.
