remanufacturing--definitions

[Erwinpiano]

Paul, Ron And list

  I love this forum.  You guys are some of the funnyest people I never met..
My face is still in pain from Ron  N's post on the subject of the term
remanufacturing.
    Paul,I think whats missing for you (and I understand where your coming
from) is the term or feeling of the term craftsmanship or personal ownership
and pride in our work.  Help me out here Paul.
     I know the factory setting seems cold and impersonal but Me thinks many
people who worked in them took pride in their work because they were
manufacturing a great product.

     I'll run my price and piano to piano  cost and feature comparison by
you another time.  The 5 to 8 k market sucks out here as well.  But the 12k
to 30 k market on up is quite real and has potential for competition with
the new piano sales.

 Best

Dale Ewrin
