Yes...Barrie... I know this... exactly what I said... we ALL know this.. but hey... thats a
different subject matter then the one she brought up. I mean... I aggree with your
paragraph... it just doesnt have anything at all to do with what she her posting was about.

Or... if it does... one certainly cannot establish that by what has been written so far. Like
it or not Barrie... it is also a fact that there are a lot of frauds out there in this world
of ours... and the piano trade is one of those that is pretty darn easy to exploit in that
way. All the well meaning, highly qualified, excellent quality independants in the world
cannot change that fact.

We need to be open to those serious minded, yes... but not in the same breath blind to
fraudulance.  A balancing of the two...
