It always seems to be presented that there is Steinway at the 120% level, and every other piano manufacturer hovering somewhere around 10% (not that this article says anything about any other manufacturer - it is conveyed by omission of any other manufacturer). </BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, Steinway does have a good marketing department. So does the PTG. For your convenience, a press release is ready to go. All you have to do is put in your name. It basically says you attended the PTG convention, and how good it was for you. With your reasoning, by omission, it is then presumed that piano technicians that did not attend the convention are not as good as you. Wim </HTML>
