They will only be moved from their "spa" out on stage.  Any suggestions???<br> <br> John LaBorn, RPT<br> (Al Capone Chicago 2002)<br> Harper College Palatine  IL</font></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div><br></div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <div>Jon Ralinovsky<br> Piano Technician<br> Department of Music<br> Miami University<br> 513/529-6548</div> </body> </html>
