And pray tell, how do you do this?    ---ric

| What can I say? Lots and lots has been learned about the piano and its
| design since old CFT sat in front of a drafting table. Smart as he was,
he

| certain of his descendents). It was--or should have been--just one
stepping
| stone on the path, albeit a significant one. If our industry is to
survive,
| however, we must learn from both his experience and our own and then go
on
| from there.
