electronics replacing pianos?

[Stéphane Collin]

Hi Dale.

I can only dream.  Even the flight to US is reasonnably out of my reach.  Bah, never mind, I'll stick to my latest 1878 Bechstein 7 footer, which is, I believe, the 19th century Erwinlike piano (yet, I got it for 4000 euros, which is 5233 US dollars).  Up to me to give it a comparable facelift.  Dreaming again ...

Best, yes, best regards.

Stéphane Collin.

    Oh Stephane
    Thanks You!....I consider your remarks a huge compliment.  But let me give perspective politely concerning only one thing

   Even I, who am definitely involved in pianos, will never, I mean never, have the kind of bucks necessary to buy a Dale Erwin customized Steinway piano.  No, never.  Though I really would like this. But other alternatives stand for me (that is the motto).  
    What I want to say is that in the specialization niches, it is always the same : you have to pay much, very much for something that is barely a little better. 
      In my case I'm not getting the kind of money Steinway is but I am still offering a customized piano anyway.  See my web site & view  The Long 6 ft 4 inch Steinway A in polished mahogany.  $55 thousand buys a piano with twice the horsepower, finesse & tonal texture as the Brand  new factory Steinway N.Y A is. IMHO. Plus Ivory & artist bench....such a dela
    Of course it's still a lot of money.  I understand but you can always send me a basket case & I would be honored to customize it just for you my friend.
