Hi David, <div><br> </div> <div>Congrats on the new website!</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Say, I just heard that REDCAT is going to go ahead and have their D rebuilt. Do you know anything about what they will be renting in the meantime? I haven't heard a peep from them about it since Richard and I were down there to evaluate it (which was quite a while ago). I don't know whether or not you have been in their loop on this. If not, could this be an opportunity to present Steingreaber to the uninitiated?<br> <br> </div> <div>All the best with your hand surgery,</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Alan Eder</div> <div><br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: David Andersen <david@davidandersenpianos.com><br> To: Pianotech Pianotech <pianotech@ptg.org><br> Sent: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 8:57 am<br> Subject: My "new" website<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_2_08dbec86-dd07-4ea4-adef-b3b0e0a7f480"> My friends--- <div><br> </div> <div>After an eternity---seems like---my vastly redesigned website is UP, baby......</div> <div><br> </div> <div><a href="http://www.davidandersenpianos.com" target="_blank">www.davidandersenpianos.com</a></div> <div><br> </div> <div>Turn your speakers up, because the song player is excellent; my website builder did an amazing job of balancing file size and load time.</div> <div>Scroll down the song player and see all the selections, all of which were recorded using one of our pianos.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>You'll find it a LOT easier to navigate through than the old site, I hope.
