David,
You're welcome. Of course I stand behind our work.

Unfortunately, other than the NAMM show, I can't point specifically to an
instrument available for your inspection. You are welcome to visit the web
sit, www.samapianos.com, and request references from Mr. McGuire, our
marketing director. Since our customers are dealers, techs, distributors,
and manufacturers, we would need to find a dealer in your neighborhood. We
don't sell pianos, so we have no way of keeping track of what happens to
the instruments once it has been delivered.

Well, sir. One day, round trip, with lunch and a tour of the plant. Air
fares are not bad at all from Southern California to El Paso. Can you
devote one day?
By the way, folks, you don't have to raise heck on the list to get an
invite. The plant is almost always open for inspection. Mondays are best,
but almost any other day is okay except Thursday. That's shipping day,
usually, and we're going bonkers. And.... there's nothing to see! <G> We
ship every two weeks, so if any one is interested in a visit, check with me
about the schedule. If you arrive in the early part of the second week,
there are pianos everywhere! Hardly room to walk. Final chipping and
tuning, rub-out, touch-up, packing, etc. We get some really cool
instruments. Oddball, rosewood carved ,triple bridge ,concrete,
purple,big,small, weird actions. (there's one now with a string height of
about 11 inches!) Anyway, it's great fun. We pack and ship about 15-20
instruments every two weeks. I'm sure there's something to inspect.

You've got my offlist contact, David. It's up to you, now.
