The outrageous concept ,adopted by certain institutions, of purchasing only instruments from one manufacturer is akin to choosing only one composer for study. Why indeed hasn't some wise institution thought of choosing the best composer only for serious study, while banning all others? Surely this would avoid an unnecessary waste of intellectual space.</font></div> <div><font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#000080"><br></font></div> <div><font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#000080">Ron O.</font></div> <div><font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#000080"><br></font></div> <div><br></div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <div><font face="Times New Roman" size="+1" color="#0000FF"><b>OVERS PIANOS - SYDNEY</b></font></div> <div><font color="#000000"><i>   </i></font><font color="#0000FF"><i>Grand Piano Manufacturers</i></font><font color="#000000"><br> _______________________</font></div> <div><font size="-2" color="#000000"><br> </font><font color="#000000">Web http://overspianos.com.au</font></div> <div><font color="#000000">mailto:ron@overspianos.com.au<br> _______________________</font></div> </body> </html>
