interesting reaction. My comments were not meant to cast aspersions
on you personally, and I don't think I expressed it that way. The
original question about the future of the business came from someone who,
presumably, was considering whether or not to pursue this as a career.
The rather strong suggestion you made that the industry was going the way
of the buffalo and would soon be relegated to a few high priced manufacturers
and the rest of us having to settle for electronic keyboards I found to
be exactly as I characterized it. The purpose of my disagreement
was so that the party making this inquiry would know that there were others
who did not share your view and that he should not be discouraged if he
was motivated to pursue his interests in this area.</font></font></blockquote>
<p><br>David, I dont find my assesement to be either cynical or pessimistic.
Far from it really. If the low end piano buisness goes tits up then it
does. If people involved in this buisness have to find something else to
do... then they do. There is nothing pesimistic or cynical about this.
Things pass.... so what ? If they do, we move on to something else, and
its up to us to make the endeavour exciting and challangeing.
<p>So again.... aggree or dissagree with the assesment of the future of
this buisness. But dont attach "values" to my meanings that arent there.
Such attachments really say more about your own feelings on the matter
then mine when it comes down to it.
