I'm investing in something I planned for and lusted after for a very long time. It is something I plan to have a lifetime relationship with, and then hopefully leave to my children. I will spend the rest of my life learning this instrument - something that unique and magical is worth waiting for as long as it takes. The handcrafted nature and the detail and care that is put into these instruments is one of the biggest reasons they hold such a strong appeal for me. This is the reality and the reason that I completely understand the position you're in, and do not mind at all if there are delays. My stuff will come when the time is right and the fates decree it, there's no question!
I would not want to think that the presence of my orders is causing stress or strain on the good Mr. Richter. I'm glad to see he is taking steps to ensure this isn't the case.
Thanks Grant for all you do, and for your commitment to your customers. I assume it must have been difficult to send that message out to all of us, but you have my complete support and the fact that you are open and honest - and taking care of yourself - is greatly appreciated!
Best wishes,
Mike
