<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>At the PNWC, you mentioned you were heavily involved in
"scale design", more specifically, "a new type of annealing
copper"?.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>I didn't quite understand where you were coming
from...having done a fair bit of scale work and bass string making
myself.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>Could you be a bit more specific? Is this new method
being used on all Samick products (pianos), and where are the bass</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>strings made?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
