=2>Hi
folks<BR><BR>I am today shocked as dismayed. Jurgen Goering has taken the
discussion <BR>on this list about the Bluthner instrument and written a le=
tter
to <BR>Bluthner pianos without my knowledge informing (warning more likely=
by
<BR>the sounds of Mr Bluthners sudden inquiry to me) him of my
intentions <BR>to rebuild the instrument and of the some possibilites for
changing the <BR>rib scale. As I dont read German I dont know exactl=
y
what was <BR>written... but certainly am going to find out whats
there.<BR><BR>I want to underline right off how disgusted I am at Jurneg f=
or
<BR>interfering in another technicians work and projects, and for the
<BR>obvious lack of respect for proffesional ethics his action displays.&n=
bsp;
<BR>Jurgen did not consult me about this.. he just did it behind my
back. <BR>What this says about his respect for other technicians who=
m he
does not <BR>know really anything about I leave it up to you all to judge.=
<BR><BR>If we can not share information, questions, and experiences on thi=
s
list <BR>without the risk of such blatent interference then this list beco=
mes
<BR>quickly useless, and indeed dangerous. <BR><BR>As for you Jurgen=
....
be it known that I contacted Bluthner within by <BR>telephone two days aft=
er
we took ownership of it. I talked to Ingbert <BR>Blüthner's secretary an=
d was
promised he would return the call as the <BR>instrument was of inter=
est.
I have written emails since then on two <BR>occasions informing them of th=
is
instrument and also called twice So I <BR>am way ahead of you. =
Frankly... if you were right here in front of me <BR>now... well its good =
for
you that you arent. <BR><BR>Disgusted<BR>Richard
