<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>I think the point David was making
was (in so many words): if you are happy with your Winter, great. But
for most folks with the technical knowledge of pianos combined with a desire
for musicality - a Winter will not do. Lipstick on a pig, as it
were. Further, when someone has to hire me to do work on a Winter,
basically everything we do exceeds the value of the instrument. The
client must understand that, and if that's OK, then, as Mike Magness said, [it
all spends the same].</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I bet nobody else on the list had the opportunity I had today. I
tuned TWO Winter spinets. WooHoo! And get this...the serial number
on the first was 326129. The serial on the second was 326128. (They were
both in the same church.) Dang, if I could only have tuned them in the
right order! </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>And so far this week I've tuned four P22s. Three in a row Tuesday,
and one today. Talk about monotony....</DIV>
