future technicians

[david at piano.plus.com]

I suppose in a sense it is amazing that they put so much care into making 
nice casework, when the overall package was so poor.  I guess whatever
techniques they had for veneer and inlays, must have been cheap.  Often
the case finish is still in very good condition.

I'm in the West of Scotland, I live 25 miles due west of Glasgow.

Best,

David.
