<div class="gmail_quote"><div>Congrats Diane! Now you know why I'm spoiled rotten. I grew up playing a little Kawai CX7 and have loved them as a pianist my whole life. Now I get to play with them regularly as a technician and it is a joy. :)<br> -Holly Quigley<br><br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: Diane Hofstetter <<a href="mailto:dianepianotuner@msn.com">dianepianotuner@msn.com</a>><br> To: <<a href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</a>><br>Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2008 23:13:36 -0700<br>Subject: KAWAI !<br> <div> The store I work for in Portland just became Kawai dealers and we received our first large load of pianos last weekend.  Since we will be moving in three weeks to a new location, we are also having a big sale.    Having gone through Portland's hugest going out of business sale with another dealership just three years ago, I was worried about the tuning load.<br>  <br> But I was just astonished at how good the Kawai's sound fresh out of the boxes!  They were actually in showable condition.  In fact, I asked the movers if they had arrived uncrated, thinking maybe they had been tuned in LA before being sent up here.  But the movers said they came in crates and today I watched them uncrate one.  It was the sturdiest grand crate I have ever seen!<br>  <br> The pianos are gorgeous and it is a joy to tune them!<br><br>Diane Hofstetter<br></div> <br></blockquote></div>
