not the cost of the bushing cloth that makes me conserve cloth. It =

enough items
for an order and putting together the order and actually ordering =
it. I
know it may not be all that much but being in the office is not getting
instruments finished. I keep my apprentices very aware of waste in =
leather, felt,rubber cloth and all of our supplies used in pianos, =
player
systems, pipe organs and reed organs. Yes some of these items are
expensive, some are not. The apprentice will not appreciate the =
limitation
of waste until he must make a living and pay for all his supplies =
himself.
I have been through times when I could not afford the supplies to finish =
a
project. Until you have that sort of problem you can't understand =
the
value of the wasted products that go into the trash.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The waste comes out of our or our =

can do
a set faster then you can with the Fandrich/Erbes method, than you can =
with a
