If you're going to the convention this year to improve your skills, that doesn't say much about your work last year does it. If these students are still practicing to improve, it doesn't say much about their playing last year does it. If your doctor researches new treatment methods, it doesn't say much about his practice last year does it. If you car manufacturer......... dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 5/3/2002 at 11:27 AM Wimblees@AOL.COM wrote: While looking at the cover of the current Piano Technicians Journal, I got to thinking about all the ads and articles about new and improved pianos. Yamaha has come out with their "S" series, Kawai the "RX" and now the Shigru. The artical about the NAMM show detailed many improvements in several other pianos. Why is it that the only news from Steinway has been about new looks? New furniture around the same old scales. The picture on this month's cover is impressive, but it's the same old "D" inside. Have they really already attained perfection? Inquiring minds want to know. dave I look at it the other way. Why do all the other manufacturers have to keep coming out with new models? That tells me that even they are not satisfied with what the have been building, and need to improve. Doesn't say much for the previous pianos from the same company, does it?
