Doesn't say much for the previous pianos from the same company, does it?</BLOCKQUOTE> Yes it does Wim. The previous model probably represents the current thinking of the time. It's not a tragedy to review a design if a real improvement is achieved. The real tragedy is that there are some who choose to revere the creations of the past to such an extent, that they become incapable of noticing the creations of beauty in their own time.

How about they keep coming up with new models so that the old ones will become obsolete sooner, and customers will have to buy new ones, because the parts to repair the old ones are not available any more. This is what is happening in the electronics industry, so why not in the acoustic industry? Just a thought Wim </HTML>
