All I did was state my oppinion from a VERY large experience on the Samick not as a technician but as a pianist...<BR>I don't attend seminars as most of them seem to be quite the distance from me in in Philadelphia, PA, and I'm too busy preparing for an upcoming concert to attend any meetings or whatnot.<BR> <BR>As to say about pintite and CA, well what would you reccomend then, pin tite does damage apparently, and after what I've seen on a piano with CA treatment, I'm scared to use it on my own. Larger tuning pinns arent an option probably because removing strings is a bad idea, VERY old, especially the bass...<BR> <BR>Sincerely,<BR>Alicia Evans<BR><BR><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE> <HR> Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2008 20:29:48 -0400<BR>From: tomtuner@verizon.net<BR>Subject: Re: HORUGEL PIANOS<BR>To: pianotech@ptg.org<BR><BR> <META content="Microsoft SafeHTML" name=Generator> <STYLE> .ExternalClass .EC_hmmessage P {padding-right:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;} .ExternalClass BODY.EC_hmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;} </STYLE> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#008000>Alica,</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#008000>Thanks for the reply.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#008000>Three years is certainly some experience and it's nice to hear that you're a guild member.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#008000>I'll suggest with the kindest of intentions that saying "Samick is crap" is not a small judgement.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#008000>    Turning down the volume on catagorical condemnations of techniques and manufacturers will do wonders on endearing yourself to our little club.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#008000>Perhaps we will meet at a future seminar-convention.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#008000>Best wishes,</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#008000>    Tom --with a last name ,what's yours?---Driscoll</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#008000>P.S.,</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#008000>    I'll break my own rule cause I'm 34 years in .
