Hello  World wide piano  lurkers
  Happy Holy-days to all. I thought we might have some  fun
  Occasionally I become aware thru things that are said  here & names popping 
up that I have not seen before, that there are  perhaps many thousands of 
P-tech lurkers reading & gleaning info offered by  contributors to this list.  I 
would love it if more of  you would chime in by offering words of support or 
affirmation.  or  add a technical opinion,story, question or whatever. 
   You know....  everyone is on a different learning curve in life  & in this 
wonderful business.  As is frequently stated in many classes  & on line that 
there are no stupid questions..... except the one that  isn't asked.  That 
will be the rule here & the violtaor of said rule  will be cyberly chastised by 
the management. 
    I'll go first.  As founding president  of piano re builders 
anonymous(grin) I wanted to dispel the  notion that the frequent contributors on this list 
have  never made mistakes and all their projects always turn out wonderful &  
without a hitch.   Well , we all know that's not true.  
  I hate do over but now & then I ,  ...well  do something over. 
  On one auspicious occasion I forgot to double  check the final position of 
a long bridge cap pattern.  I thought I was in  the right place.  As it turns 
out,  I was 2  mm to the  bass.  I made a BEAUTIFUL CAP, Screwed the plate 
down, all 50 screws,  rechecked the bearing & viola ready to string & hmmm 
.......Trix  says hey those strings are not lining up to good.  Women...there almost 
 always right.  She was.  Yup Do over.  That's why we get the big  bucks.
  OK Next....How bout you Nossaman 
  Better yet some one yet to venture forth  on the list?  
   Happy New Year
