<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi Richard,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It's fun, if you have the time. All the plans are in the
box and everything is cot to size, but, you have to read the plans several times
first and make sure that you use the right glues.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The one I did was a take over job from someone who had
lost interest. It was only after the job was completed and two years had gone by
that the thing started falling apart. White glue is not good enough and
personally I think if I do it again I would seriously consider using some metal
joiners to give the whole structure more strength. But it was fun and a very
rewarding experience.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2><SPAN class=870172603-26072003> Has anyone put
together a harpsichord kit? A piano teacher has approached me on puttting
together one. I don't think I want to do it. What do you
think?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
