While the S came out after his death, it was patterned after the O/L as we know. I guess you just had to be born in an odd-numbered century to be a good piano designer. Maybe someone born in the 21st century will design a good piano if pianos are still around when he/she is old enough to design one. > > dp > > __________________________ > David M.
