<font face="Arial">Why, Joe? Are you thinking it's going to make
owners mess up their pianos? Or put technicians out of business?
I don't think either of those things will happen. I think it's a
clever bit of publishing that enables a full-colour manual to
exist which otherwise would not.<br>
<br>
I used to buy the Haynes manuals for whatever car I had. They
showed you everything, taking out the engine, stripping the
gearbox etc. Now, I was never going to do any of those things, but
even if the manual showed you how to remove a particular bit of
trim so as to access some component, it was worth the money.<br>
<br>
Most piano owners will not attempt most of what's in here, but it
may be tremendously interesting for some owners, and may increase
their interest in having their piano properly maintained, and
their respect for their technician.<br>
<br>
Or is your objection based on the quality of the technical
content, for some reason?<br>
<br>
How do you feel about Reblitz?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>

for the owners. Sheesh! I'd say<br>
good luck with that one!<br>
Not a good omen to be sure.<br>
