I guess I would have to fall in the "blatant self promotion" class. But I'm not getting rich off it. :) Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician Mililani, Oahu, HI 808-349-2943 Author of: The Business of Piano Tuning available from Potter Press www.pianotuning.com -----Original Message----- From: Mike Morvan <keymaestro at verizon.net> To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Wed, 31 Dec 2008 7:00 am Subject: Re: [pianotech] Blatant Commercialization (was Re: wurzen front punching felt) Dale, ??? Thanks, we will continue our self promotion (when it fits). Your right about WNG, their new hard anodized aluminum capstans and keypins are the best thing since sliced bread, I can't speak for the plate suspension system, but I'll take your word for it, you've certainly paid your dues. Send us some sunshine, it's snowing like crazy here.

Mike ? Yes you have ...Keep doing it I forget these things. If some one has? a new Piano something, we want to know it, no matter who or what ?it is. I posted about the New WNG Plate suspension?system the other day. ??? Many of us have been scrambling &?cobbling or own systems together for years?& then poof Mason & Hamlin/ Piano Disc/Wessell Nickel & Gross come up with an elegant 8 buck apiece solution. Did they post on the list?? Yup. Any body?care ...Yes I'm glad they did!! ?Happiest NEw one ? Dale ? List,? ? Even if Jurgen was not a wonderful person, excellent technician and resource for the trade, those comments were not warranted, were cruel and unprofessional. The "Blatant Commercialization" is vital to this list. A lot of people do it, and technicians who are dedicated to themselves, the trade and their clients rely on it to keep up to date on new products, procedures and services. That's what these forums are all about. We all have feelings and opinions about many aspects of our profession, but apparently all of us are not able to contain them or express them diplomatically.? ? By the way have I mentioned that we are making custom buttons, soundboard and rib cauls on our CNC Machine for the trade. Ooops I hope that was not to Blatant. Mike? ? Blackstone Valley piano?
