<html> Hi Ron, I tried out the temperament sampler today,  sounded nice. Would be more affective on a newer piano, maybe, but the effect was there.  The temperament was quite mild - as some might say, it sounded a little bit like a poor equal temperament ;-) Exhibit hall was busy today.  There are lots of pianos to sample this year, especially if you include all of the rebuilt pianos from Poland - lots of old instruments with new boards and cosmetically very nice work. The tool and supply booths were really packed this afternoon - nice to see that everyone is looking to stock up on things. I was in my booth all day, so I didn't get to see any of the classes - as usual. Don Mannino </html>
