I know there aren't a great number of these, yet, in the Country, and certainly I would never have seen one, so would appreciate any enlightenment which could be offered from techs who have worked with them as well as played.    I can be emailed privately at l-bartlett@sbcglobal.net if comments on-the-list would present difficulties.  I'm a small fish in the huge pond of technicians and the farthest "in the water" I've been is to regulate her KG-6, and the fact that limited warranty work I've done for Kawai leaves me feeling they bend over very far to serve their customers. thanks les bartlett </BODY> </HTML>
