 we to some degree make, shape and cultivate our own personal market niche
 just as other product purveyors do.  Advertisement, product features and
 good sales techniques all combine to create customer awareness and desire
 for those products.  I know I hate that side of it but it's a reality you
 can choose to embrace or ignore.

You're right, but the marketing effort alone would pay for the parts for the 
next piano you try to sell at $15,000-20,000 to cover the costs of 
"reman-o-manufracturing" said piano you are trying to raise the awareness of 
in your niche market in order to sell it at your price. It's a tough nut all 
around. I would dearly love to, in conscience (my other half would simply 
walk out the door and laugh all the way to poor house), be able fully to 
restore some of the wonderful old pianos we find around Chicago and sell them 
for what they would be really worth. Convincing someone of that worth is the 
problem; I'm not a salesperson and don't want to be. I do believe that good 
works get good clients. But this is waaaaaay to speculative right now. It's 
still to be desired, though.

Remanufacture that!
