One thing that Yamaha plans to do is to inject some capital into this company. They make a fantastic piano, and a little more "street knowledge" could put it on the list of many who do not know enough to even consider it now. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My thoughts,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Rich Galassini</DIV> <DIV>Cunningham Piano Co.</DIV> <DIV>215 438-3200</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 2/6/2008 9:46:29 A.M.
