Set in Burma around the 1870s about the Anglo= /Burmese wars and the Shan Uprising. Also about an Erard Grand and one Edgar= Drake, piano tuner extraordinaire. When I got to the end in the acknowledge= ments I found: "Two piano tuners helped to train Edgar Drake: David Skolnik = and Ben Treuhaft. Since Edgar Drake is a fictitious character does the same = apply to David and Ben?  I wonder!  Good book, though, and worth r= eading. Michael G (UK) </BLOCKQUOTE> Michael, I liked it, too.  Written by a 27 year old med student.   The end was a bit disappointing, but his descriptive passages are impres= sive. Dave Stahl</HTML>
