    With all respect, I share your point about the " test of time" but it's
my understanting these new materials can be exposed to testing procedures
replicating the aging process .Also analogies to 1948 plastic piano parts is
unfair.
    After all, in 1948 doctors told people to smoke cigarettes for
relaxation.
    We'd all be driving horse and buggy's without somebody  like Kawai and
others  "Thinking outside the box"
    Best wishes my compatriot,

    P.S. Besides in 40 years I'll be dead!
