Richard:

I doubt that I am the only person who finds much of what you have said below
offensive. Either you could have said it better, or it was better unsaid. 

Respectfully yours,

Will Truitt

Well.. certainly most everyone on this planet evidently needs some kind 
of a god to believe in for just about everything to be sure.  My point 
is that there are no end of piano design deities out there... most of 
them are quite capable of designing a fine sounding instrument. Most of 
them vary (sometimes quite significantly) in approach, most of them make 
no bones about declaring most everyone else has having fatal flawed 
thinking.... and none of them seem to see how ridiculous this all is.

For myself... I realized years ago the <<one way>> gang in whatever area 
of life one finds them... are always ... well..... wrong.   I've heard 
it a million times...

    "there are two ways of doing things... the wrong way... and MY way."

    True. But some who are able to think out of the box consult experienced
    piano designers familiar with unconventional design approaches for
    input.

    It's why the Goddess made Del Fandrich and Ron Nossaman and Ron Overs.
