<DIV>Hi Nigel,</DIV>
<DIV>It is interesting that the PTA has a closed list. Typical
really.</DIV>
<DIV>I agree that the Pianotech list can field some naive questions
occasionally, often from people just starting out, but when a subj=
ect
gets really meaty (action geometry, soundboards etc.etc.) some really
heavyweight guys start posting and the list really takes off. How many=
workshops in UK are doing a fraction of the rebuilding work that our USA fri=
ends
are doing? How many would genuinly share their ideas and discoveries? =
Our
supply houses are a typical example of how backward we are here.</DIV>
