Because I intend to keep my wife, my only one, for atleast one lifetime. I wonder if there's a connection between superfluous trash and divorce rates? If something can be fixed, and it serves a valuable purpose, then it should be fixed. I own a 1935 Winter spinet and have no problems with it. I recently did some work on and sold a 1949 Winter spinet and the owner is delighted. Our society's preoccuapation with "if it's broke, don't fix it" is like a disease. </span><br/></font> <div><font face="Arial Narrow"> </font></div><br/><br/>Noah Haverkamp<br/>Know-a Piano<br/>http://www.knowapiano.com<br/>347-308-0094<br/>Fax: 718-701-2071 </div> </body> </html>
