[pianotech] Fwd: digital bell choir???

[Gary Doudna]

I would have to agree with Steve re: handbells.  Talk about sustain.  Once
again, as with pianos, any time you add electricity, you have lost what
makes up the complex sound of the instrument.  Yes, I ended up joining a
bell choir as a sub.... six years ago!
