<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 color=black
face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I still think that the
business card is the way to go. I'd rather risk someone losing my
business card than losing them as a customer because I decided to inscribe my
"mark" in their piano. Before we moved to Chicago , we attended
a church back in South B end, IN where a tech whom I know and respect highly
afixed his label on the front corner of the fall board of a Yamaha grand.
It was in an inconspicious spot, but the idea of sticking something on a piano
bothers me. I also hate when pianos are painted, I mean painted.
Have a good one all. Is anyone else geting snow?</span></font><font
