<DIV> Thanks. There are a few things I could have done had there not
been such budget restrictions. The sustain is already amazing. My 80 year
old Dad was watching the planning of the G-2board & he's say I'm glad
you know what you doing. Belly work was not in his bag -o trick but he has
a great ear. He heard the sustain Monday & his eyes lit up. He's been
working in the shop for a bout a week. He lost his wife 4 months ago &
I'm startin to see a bit of fire again.</DIV>
<DIV> Bichords would certainly been a great improvement. I'm putting
a belly in another O with 3 bichords & the recent board redesign I reported
on earlier. It's always fun to reproduce a successful design.</DIV>

need it. My Father Harold, <BR>> to the right of<BR>> me sold
Yamaha pianos for 20 years. To me the 5 -7" G-2 for some
<BR>> reason was<BR>> quite a boring sounding piano. We are
currently giving a fairly <BR>> inexpensive<BR>> face list to a 30 year
old G-2. <BR><BR><BR>Hi Dale,<BR>Nice going. A fun project that ought to
make a positive <BR>improvement. Did you rescale and add a few wrapped bichords
to <BR>the low tenor to help that low tension honk down there while <BR>you were
at it? Looking forward to the final report when <BR>everything settles
in.<BR><BR>Ron
