David,

Me thinks you will be getting a few posts in the next few hours...;-]

PS...didn't see you at Stanford today, but I was in early and out by
lunch time...liked what you did to the Campbell Steinway.  I would be
interested in how you determined where to move the capstan?  I would
guess you couldn't move any more forward than you had wippen
cushion...or did you change the wippens?
