How Piano Strings are Made - Mapes Interview w Andy Wilson

Post by gbmc »

Hey there. I have a website called Piano Price Point. If you're interested, I write a monthly blog about things relating to piano manufacturing. You can view it here:
http://pianopricepoint.com/piano-blog/

I write about everything from hammer making to piano design going direct to the source if possible and learning from those who work in the field.
Hope you enjoy!
Cheers

Dear Colin,
Thanks for the reply. First of all, let me reassure you that I am a real person and the website I write is not SPAM. Second, approximately 150,000 users visit Piano Price Point annually. If your computer has trouble loading, it might need Java to be updated. Piano Price Point uses Java to make it flow better. Hope this helps.
Cheers

I looked at the Bosendorfer item quite successfully with no problems, Colin.
I play for my own amazement... :piano;
