<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Fred Forshey sometimes runs a class for the local chapter, and every time, somewhere he reminds us that we need to stay up with the piano industry….. He's the local "Jack Wyatt" of piano knowledge. Is there a single magazine one could subscribe to which would cover most of the basic piano stuff? Store owners certainly don't have time to sit down with individuals and fill them in, and then there is also the "bias factor" to consider there. Everyone has a bias- that I know. But objective data about where this crazy-paced business is going and who's doing what would surely be helpful………….</FONT></P>
