> I've returned from the Yamaha Little Red Schoolhouse experience.
> All I can say is "Wow"!   Trust me, all the rumors are true.  It
> really *is* a wonderful experience.  They truly did take good
> care of the group, (and we really had a great bunch), and just
> when you thought it couldn't be any better it always did.  Yamaha
> treated us to some VERY fine meals, including an unexpected and
> spontaneous extra dinner in the middle of the week.  The hotel
> was also fantastic.
> 
> The education could not be topped.  Hours were spent in deep
> discussion on many fine details.  LeRoy was an excellent
> instructor, and the rest of the Yamaha group was equally prepared
> and professional.   Steve Pearson was an outstanding counter-part
> to Mr. Edwards, and Mark Wisner provided much valuable
> information regarding the Diskclavier systems.  Mr. Terry Niimi,
> Yamaha's technical representative from Japan, was absolutely
> fantastic in discussing some of the finer points of action
> regulation, voicing, and concert prep work.
> 
> And yes... they did give us all a HEAP of information to take
> home including piles of technical manuals.  Oh... and of course a
> really cool Yamaha mug and pen.  :-).

> Summary:  If you've gone, you know.  If you haven't- GET THERE!!
