And it was done by chief technician of Mason and Hamlin... piano was brand new and i vigorously used it. So i guess it rose an immediate red flag.. And I do appologise to everyone.<BR>  <BR>  <BR> I'm still new to this list and I do appreciate the tips some have been giving me of proper etiquette for this list.<BR>  <BR>  <BR> Alicia Evans<BR><BR><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE> <HR> To: pianotech@ptg.org<BR>Subject: Re: HORUGEL PIANOS<BR>Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2008 18:31:57 -0400<BR>From: reggaepass@aol.com<BR><BR> <DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ArialMT"><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small">Alicia,</SPAN><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small"></SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ArialMT"><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small"> </SPAN><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small"></SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ArialMT"><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small">Welcome to the pianotech list.  It sounds like you have really jumped into piano technology with both feet, and at a relatively early age.  Congrats for that!</SPAN><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small"></SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ArialMT"><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small"> </SPAN><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small"></SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ArialMT"><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small">You might want to check the archives of this list on any subject before adding your own comments to the mix (for example, about using CA glue on pinblocks with loose tuning pins).</SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small"><BR></SPAN></DIV><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small">We are all opinionated.  Nevertheless, most of us on the list usually reserve judgement until we have an adequate sampling of first hand experience (which is one of the many ways in which this list is so useful).  </SPAN> <DIV><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small"><BR></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small">In order for anyone new to the list to get the most out of it, in would be prudent to do more "listening" initially to get the feel for list etiquette.</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Again, glad to have you join the mix.</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Regards,</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Alan Eder</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>P.
