<DIV> Hi Ron</DIV>
<DIV> Thanks for the kind words & the affirming &
encouraginfg feedback on this idea now successful. <STRONG>David & I hav=
e
had a similar dream for a long time of actually hearing great muscians =
on
our own "Custom Restored Pianos". It is truly a lot of fun for us &
all !!!!!!!!!</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> Ok So maybe I'm the last kid on the block with new toys but hear=
ing
is believing & until now </DIV>
<DIV> such board designs were not available in this part of the country=
. So
I'm experimenting with ideas fostered by you ,Del ,Terry Ron O. Peter
Clark Dale Fox to name a few. The outcome is a kick in the pants. Also, ther=
e is
nothing like the kinesthetic experience to clarify your ideas & outcome
over the period of time the piano is developing under your finger=
s
& persuasion.</DIV>
<DIV><U> BTW One piano omitted on the Atelier sales list is a long
Steinway A</U> with a curved cut-off (by Terry F.) & similar rib
improvements as the O to the treble. It'll be done soon & to be pri=
ced
then. It's in Polished Mahaogony, Ivory etc. the ususal.</DIV>
<DIV> Regards</DIV>
<DIV> Dale Erwin</DIV>

initiative and courage in setting up your new product display centre in LA=

This industry needs more people with courage, rather than those who cower
