<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> I'm not sure why you haven't had a response yet, but I'm attaching the current wholesale price list to this e-mail for your records..our contact information is below. We have been making these covers for 20 years, </SPAN></FONT></P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">the difference in ours from others is the fact that they are made from specific patterns, they are not generic. We have collected over 800 patterns now, so just about any piano you need a cover for, no matter how old, you can have a cover made specifically for that piano. It has been our experience that most people want something beautiful and correctly fitting on their piano, or they won't use it. Because they are not generic, we make them to order. I'll be happy to send you the sample kit, which includes the samples of our material and brochures, etc.,I just need an address. </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">As to the comments you've forwarded, we have never taken 3 months to ship an order. The time constraints around making something custom is certainly more than something generic, I think that is understandable. </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I import the wool that we use...there is nothing domestically made of the same quality as what we use, believe me I would know about it...I hope you have an opportunity to compare ours with the other, you'll see and feel a big difference.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Once again I'm sorry you've had trouble contacting us, our name is used in a lot of other Technician web sites, and I know this causes some problems. The e-mail address is the best form of direct communication. Leave me your address, I'll put the kit in the mail, Thanx, Judi</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV></DIV>
