Disklavier

Hello to all our friends on the Disklavier Digest group,

Several of you have commented and complimented me on the article in USA Today 
last Monday.  I do want to point out to you all, in no uncertain terms, that 
I did not say that ".....we are doing this to sell pianos...."  the second 
half of the quote "....to showcase the technology"  was accurate.  It was 
very upsetting to me but that's the way it goes.  The 
www.piano-e-competition.com site will have great files up of the 24 final 
round contestants starting on the 8th of June if not sooner.

Pianobench and I are here in Minneapolis/StPaul working on this most exciting 
project today and all our tests promise that this is going to be great.
