<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"> I used to hand out literature,
technical bulletins, etc., but I find that, for the most part, you're lucky if
anybody bothers to read it. They stuff it in the piano bench,
thinking they might read it later, but they never do. When you follow
up by asking if they'd like any reconditioning, regulating, or
voicing work, their answer reveals that they didn't read zip.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"> Same on the roads -- people
don't bother to read any more. "Right Lane Must Turn Right" -- they
disregard and charge straight ahead. "55 MPH" -- they disregard or don't
look at it at all and blast ahead at 70. Or even 85. "Fines Doubled
for Speeding in Work Zone" -- they disregard; fines could be quadrupled
and they'd still go barreling by 20 mph over the limit. I've seen people
in the park feeding the geese right under the "Do Not Feed the Geese"
sign. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"> I've had piano owners ask how
often their (new) piano should be tuned, which is now two years old and a
half-step flat, when right in the piano bench is the owner's manual
explaining why it needs more frequent tuning the first few years and how often
to tune it subsequently. Same with care of the finish. It says
right in there. But they don't bother with reading. Too used to
movies, videos, computer screens. God forbid they should actually read
anything. No wonder their kids never pick up a book.

<DIV>Where is the best place to order more Dampp-Chaser literature that we use
to give our clients explaining the system? And while I'm doing that,
what other brochures do you keep in your tuning kit to hand out as information
to your customers?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I finally ordered my new tuning kit this morning!</DIV>

<DIV>It looks like this one won't develop me a hernia or skater's elbow.
I have saved a few of the e-mails from ya'll in the past regarding what you
use, and I actually will order one of those for my regulating kit!</DIV>

<DIV>Thank you,</DIV>
