[pianotech] Kimball Petite Grand

[Dean May]

Well said, Ron. This has long been one of my greatest frustrations as a
tech, doing a procedure differently that produces desired results cost
effectively, but having some other tech building himself up as an expert in
condemning what I've done to a customer/dealer that doesn't know any better.
The same thing happens in any number of other professions. Doctors, for
example, can actually have their licenses revoked for not following
"accepted practices and treatments" even though they get good results and
their patients love them. Kind of stifles creativity and ingenuity, don't
you think?

No, I bisect the hole. The reason is that this is what techs expect to see,
it does no harm, and it's one less thing for techs to condemn as different.
