Thank you, i'll put this idea forward to the people with the money but it looks like our design tech department will be given the task of building one hehe they'll love it.

Thanks, i'll look into that. My favorite one is a beautiful instrument especially when fully open in the concert hall, unfortunately we have a problem with kids hammering it at break times.

Hi, i've been planning a concert in my local church and they have a piano bearing the name Thomas Goodwin, Manchester. I believe that as the piano has an overdammped system it is around 100 years old? And I've been told that in thoses times the piano dealer would put their name on the piano rather t...
