The website designer, Eddie DeAngelini of Punk, Funk and Junk Web Design did an unbelievably good job of translating our vision into reality. He's a good listener AND a creative guy. My daughter Jenika, David Andersen Piano's operations manager, made heroic efforts, and succeeded in keeping the project on time and on budget, as well as giving valued feedback regarding design and color scheme. Thank you, my dear. To my collaborators in piano work---Stephen Bellieu, Phenoyd Ezra, Dale Erwin, and Michael Campi---endless thanks for your work, your love, your craft, your impeccable professional attitude, and your sense of humor. To all my clients, present and past: you have been the root of my craft, and my livelihood. Thank you so much. The Atelier, as you'll see on the site, is a new part of our business, selling custom-restored vintage, hand-built new or impeccably pre-owned like-new pianos. We feel strongly that our pianos compare favorably with the best instruments the piano world offers, regardless of price. We also hold concert series outside in the sculpture garden from May through November. Please reply to this email to be added to our Atelier mailing list----and a special, deeply heartfelt thank you to Tanya Ragir, my beloved partner in life, for the incredible grounds and aura of hospitality and grace that surround the Atelier. None of this would be possible without her love and support. To learn more about her work, please visit <a href="http://www.tanyaragir.com">www.tanyaragir.com</a> Please take a look and, as important, a listen to our new Web home. Feedback is expected and welcomed. Please think of us as you consider buying a piano or maintaining/restoring a treasured instrument; we'll treat you like family---and I mean that in a good way. <g> My best to you....
