As Del said in a post today (and everybody knows) the rims are plenty stiff without even without the resonator. It's a great piano either way. <BR>

I almost hate to wade in and muddy a good discussion but I just want to say Brian, that your statements are on the money. No body thinks the thing retains crown. So I'll let M&H marketing worry about their own consciences. Why this discussion hasn't arrived at the following statement sooner I don't know.</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
On the contrary !!:) seems to me you two provide some clear waters in an already mudded discussion... and I thank you both for it. <BR>
Still dont know if that itch in my left rear side is quite satisfied tho.... I mean you give a decent enough reason for continueing to install the so called resonator..... would seem to me that from a marketing standpoint it would be just as easy to make use of legitimate reasons for the device then ones that are << clearly false >>. And it would seem safer. Then there is the unanswered cost effectivness question mark. <BR>
Still since virtually all of you discount the effectivness of this device as any kind of a arch support I suppose I will have to accept that as beef in lue of any reasoning to the contrary. <BR>
Thanks again for the topical replies.. :) <BR>
