I was simply pointing out the error of your logic, in Piano Tech = World. There are many of us that rebuild Steinways. Each rebuilder knows, (or = should know), his clients wishes. Using our ability to fulfill those wishes, is = the main aim. If a client thinks, as you do, then it's Strickly Steinway = Parts! However, they will get many "disclaimers" from me, if this is the case. = i.e. don't cry to me if your Steinway sounds/plays crappy because of the = "Steinway" parts, you requested. (or something, diplomatically, to that effect.<G>)</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW, keep those questions coming. We, = (the list), are really here to be of service. It's the essence/philosophy of PTG! It = perpetuates this beautiful business we are in.
