I thought it was a great idea at the time, but to actually hear some of these pianos in a concert hall at the Cal State convention was even more of a treat. <br> <br> Tom Cole<br> <br> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Erwinspiano@aol.com">Erwinspiano@aol.com</a> wrote:<br> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid13f.d914462.2f4d1cc9@aol.com"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; "> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2604" name="GENERATOR"> <font id="role_document" face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2"> <div> </div> </font><br> <hr width="90%" size="4"><br> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" class="header-part1"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <div class="headerdisplayname" style="display: inline;">Subject: </div> Re: [CAUT] rebuilder display</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div class="headerdisplayname" style="display: inline;">From: </div> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Erwinspiano@aol.com">Erwinspiano@aol.com</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div class="headerdisplayname" style="display: inline;">Date: </div> Tue, 22 Feb 2005 18:39:30 EST</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div class="headerdisplayname" style="display: inline;">To: </div> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:caut@ptg.org">caut@ptg.org</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <br> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; "> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2604" name="GENERATOR"> <font id="role_document" face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2"> <div> <div><font size="3">  Hi Kent</font></div> <div><font size="3">   If memory serves I believe there was a rebuilders hall of fame in Maryland  & somewhere else & I was there although not displayed .

It also puts feet & reality to all the things we spend hundreds of hours learning. It's huge Show & tell. & is inspiring to others including me. Inspiring enough to challenge the next genreration of guys to step up a see its' possible. </font></div> <div><font size="3">  My Extreme gratitude & Thanks to Nick Gravagne for all his writings ,Ken Hannah for his gracious mentoring, David Hughes for his collegial sharing, John Hartman for his treatise on effects of  down bearing on tone & others who stepped up for me back when I needed information & help.
