<BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE>For what it's worth, Before becoming partially disa=
bled from rheumatoid arthritis I was a professional pianist. I played =
many pianos over the years but the pianos that I most loved to play were alw=
ays the Steinways. To me, they had what I can only describe as a "=
;soul"--a kind of living presence. I was able to interact with th=
e best of these pianos producing a greater range of tone quality than any ot=
her instrument. The piece I most loved to perform was the Brahms=
g minor Rhapsodie. Talk about extreme tonal and expressive ranges in =
a single piece--------!!!!!!<BR>
