The Stuart has elements of brassy tonal quality, which annoys me somewhat. I admire the effort that has gone into it, however, not my favorite instrument. The Overs on the other hand is much more to my liking. Here we have a piano that delivers just about everything from a tonal point of view. the action too, is remarkable, with Ron's design, repetition and feel is a delight. What a pity there are so few having been made, as this beautiful piano could grace the stage of any major concert hall in the world, to the delight of those listening and more particularly those playing it.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anyone got a few million to put into it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Cheers, </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>David Lawson OZ</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir=ltr> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial; BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=erwinspiano@aol.com href="mailto:erwinspiano@aol.com">Dale Erwin</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Sunday, November 04, 2012 1:22 AM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [pianotech] 102 keys and 4 pedals???</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV><FONT color=navy size=2 face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif"><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt" color=#000080>I'm not an Aussie but I've heard the Overs Piano  in person and its awesome!!!   </FONT> <DIV><FONT color=#000080><FONT size=2> </FONT><FONT size=3> </FONT></FONT><SPAN style="LINE-HEIGHT: 16px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, verdana, sans-serif"><FONT color=#0000cd size=3><B><A href="http://www.overspianos.com.au">www.overspianos.com.au</A></B></FONT></SPAN><BR><BR> <DIV style="COLOR: navy; CLEAR: both; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><FONT color=royalblue size=1><B><FONT face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, Serif"><FONT color=black><FONT color=mediumblue face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif">Dale Erwin R.P.T.<BR><FONT color=green>Erwin's Piano Restoration Inc.</FONT><BR></FONT></FONT></FONT></B></FONT><FONT color=darkgreen><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic"><B><FONT size=1><FONT color=black size=1><FONT color=blueviolet><FONT color=black><FONT color=black face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif">Mason & Hamlin</FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif">/Steinway/</FONT><FONT color=black face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif">U.S. pianos</FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT color=cornflowerblue size=1 face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif"><A href="http://www.Erwinspiano.com">www.Erwinspiano.com</A></FONT><FONT size=1><BR></FONT><FONT color=crimson size=1 face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif">Phone: 209-577-8397</FONT><BR><FONT color=darkgreen></FONT></FONT></B></SPAN></FONT><TT><TT><FONT color=darkgreen><BR> </FONT><BR>  <FONT size=2></FONT></TT></TT><BR><BR></DIV><BR><BR> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">-----Original Message-----<BR>From: Jason Kanter <<A href="mailto:jkanter@rollingball.com">jkanter@rollingball.com</A>><BR>To: Pianotech <pianotech@ptg.org><BR>Sent: Fri, Nov 2, 2012 10:21 pm<BR>Subject: [pianotech] 102 keys and 4 pedals???<BR><BR> <DIV id=AOLMsgPart_1_35b1cc84-5151-4f04-a691-077e52b77b13><A href="http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/grand-design-resonates-with-young-musicians-20121102-28ppk.html" target=_blank>http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/grand-design-resonates-with-young-musicians-20121102-28ppk.html</A> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Any of you Ozzies familiar with this Stuart & Sons piano?</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Jason Kanter <SPAN></SPAN></DIV><BR><BR>-- <BR> <DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><B>| || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| || ||| || |||</B></DIV> <DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">jason's cell 425 830 1561</DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></BODY></HTML>
