there are so many "sales myths" floating, finally, some of =

looking at facts not myths. Please do not get me wrong, I have =
been in
love with the "Steinway sound" forever, but I have been aware of their =
myths
at the same time. How do you tune the duplexes if in each =
section it is
a solid bar? I have come to realize that most of us =
(technicians) rely
upon tradition,myths and personal ego!!! A lot of our =
restoration
techniques are built around tradition rather than fact. If tradition =
works I
love it but I am always ready to except something better. As science =
and
communication improves we can only make and restore better pianos. The =
most
valuable thing the PTG gives me is an open door for people, people who =
