<DIV><BR></DIV>Oh, for your edification, I strongly recommended the lady write
to Ron, whose work and opinions i value highly. I would be very please if
she did so. No the "other guy" did not file or voice the hammers, nor did
he touch the really bad regulation, just did a horrible tuning. So thanks
for your friendly repast, your support for a toooner with a very good reputation
for high quality work and integrity- but I suppose no one checked my web site to
find what other significant musicians have felt about it. Nah- it's not
worth it. Why mess up perfectly set opinions.<BR><A

this church, and she's getting all these posts. I wrote her a nasty note
yesterday which resulted in a long conversation about, well the director
is new, and there are this and that, and so forth. I said to her, "It's
time to poopoo or get off the pot, because you are about to get an
instrument at $100K plus and two seven foot instruments, and you know
more than 90%of the performing artists about a piano, so the time is now
to get off your butt and get this resolved because you're going to ruin
three brand new instruments with this 'share the wealth' policy."

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Concept alert! Ruin!!?? Hold on here. Do I understand this
right, that you are trying to sell the concept that having
techs other than you tuning the pianos will ruin them??? Just
who the Hell do you think you are that anyone else other than
you tuning these pianos will "ruin" them? I've seen a lot of
ego fired into the sky on this list, expecting a celestial
display with an indeterminate powder charge, but this is
asking a whole lot! Les, get real!
