<p><br>Really not such an error Antares. Folks have been arguing over which
words mean what in this connection for eons. While sharing Mr Moffatts
basic concern for standardized terminology, I also understand the reality
of basic comunications problemetikk. Personally I understood your usage
completely.
<p>The posting you contributed was good advice. I might also point out
that "restoration" for museum usage is by no means the same as "restoration"
for someone who fully intends to use an instrument in the home or otherwise.
While we pick at the meaning of words we need to be mindfull of contexts
and situations in order to put language into meaningfull perspective.
