I'm quite sure I have no idea where you are coming from here David. No one said anything about anyones ideas being handed down from God. Tho since you first brought it up, I am gratified that you place these issues in the realm of personal taste. That said this was a reply to John D... not really into any aposplastics. grin.. Cheers RicB ------------ I think it goes without saying that all designs, including design changes, are someone's personal preference. The original designs weren't handed down from God. David Love davidlovepianos at comcast.net www.davidlovepianos.com --------------- You raise an interesting fact John. Actually quite a few folks I talk to rather like the O as is, and indeed Steinways own scaling priorities are aimed at this kind of tone in smaller grands as I understand it. It just goes to show that we are again not really talking about and quantitative improvements. These kinds of redesign changes are more along the lines of getting the piano to conform to ones own personal tastes.... which is a fair enough proposition IMHO. Cheers RicB
