Dear Kristinn,
I have found that people have no clue how complicated an instrument like
the piano is. In fact, after touring our facility (17 rebuilders & finishers)
the general reaction is dumbstruck awe followed immediately by sincere
admiration.
Most people simply don't know the type of training that we, in our
industry, have to put in. When I ask my seven year old where we get milk, she
says, "From the carton" - with a look on her face that says "Dad, how can you
be so dumb!"
Remember, education must happen before appreciation can.
