This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Debbie, My kit weighs in the neighborhood of 50 lbs and I don't see it losing weight soon. My case caries my 5 lb laptop and all tuning and frequently used voicing, regulating and repairing tools. I'm reluctant to make a trip out to the car to get a commonly used regulating tool, for example. Also, I never could justify adding to the bill just because I'm making a second trip to the car. So I sometimes find myself not making the adjustment if the tool, or a good substitute, is not at hand. Thus I opt for the boy scout approach. I look at it this way: I can pay to become a member of a health club or I can save the cash and carry a 50 lb tool kit. It helps that the case has wheels and a telescoping handle for the long-haul university jobs. Tom Cole pianolady50@peoplepc.com wrote: > Here goes, > > A general survey of the list.
