See it, feel it, live in it. Bathe in it. To make it my default mode. All the suffering and pain I need I already have. Insert "grin" emoticon here....<div><br></div><div>I'm pretty continually amazed I get paid for a lot of the work on pianos I do. I flat love to do it, for the work AND for the payoff of the player's joy and pleasure. Damn.<div><br></div><div>Me and Stanwood are rolling out the SALA device to the Europiano Congress 2012, in Amersfoort, Holland this coming week We're here a couple days early to chill and un-jet lag. Beautiful. Canals everywhere, literally. We're in the City of Gouda until we move to the event site on Sunday. We've installed SALA in a new Sauter 220, and the Congress attendees will get to experience SALA and its "wow" effect on an insanely great piano, which David S. and I will do the final tweakage on tomorrow and Monday. I'm also teaching my three-hour "Ultimate Tool" class three times (!) next week, AND teaching two SALA classes/demos with Stanwood; busy little bee.</div><div><br></div><div>Stanwood and I will update y'all as the Congress unfolds...stay tuned. Hope to see a lot of y'all in Seattle....</div><div>xo</div><div>David Andersen</div><div>Mar Vista (L.A.), CA</div><div><br></div><div>P.S. flew first class for the first time from Minneapolis to Amsterdam. Completely different world of existence in a commercial plane. Here in the city of Gouda, pronounced Chhowda (think Yiddish on the "chh") in a delightful little hotel, eating a great breakfast after a full night's sleep---sunny morning light, flowers and greenery everywhere, birds singing, 55 degrees:  mmmmm.</div><div><br></div><div> <div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Jun 2, 2012, at 7:00 AM, erwinspiano wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><div>Hi Dean <div>Thanks.
