Well yeah I agree with this.....but often times the reality is that what 
shows up on the dealer floor, or customer's home, is more akin to a 'mostly 
finished piano kit' than a "world class instrument". So the ideal would be to hit 
the floor being ready to go but the 'usual' is that much needs to be done to 
make these thingees more acceptable. Perhaps we should just be glad that much 
improvement is possible! :-)
