Here you hit the nail on the head David. BANG !! Square on it. I agree word for word with the following paragraph... one hundred percent. The thing is tho this has to be applied even handedly accross the board. Things go both ways. John Hartman responded to Ron Overs in a recent contribution to this general thread recently... read through this segment.. > This endemic problem of not making waves is killing the potential that > we have to move forward in our industry.

But Ron, I am making waves! Just that my waves say that we have been failing to meet the challenge of developing the craft and aesthetic understanding that is vital to getting the most out of the many fine pianos we technicians are likely to come across in our careers. If we would just do this many of the these engineering issues will fade into the background. If there is an "endemic problem" I think it is with putting science before art and craft.
