We take that very  very serious.

......excuse me, Michael, but I (and most other Harp-L members here)  know 
that the Renaissance was a dream and collaborative effort between  Douglas Tate 
and Bobbie Giordano (of this list), and under the present  circumstances it 
seems especially uncomfortable for us to hear you omit her  name from any 
mention here of the Renaissance.  As well,  in  my very humble opinion, I can't 
imagine why her stunningly beautiful  instrument I saw and heard being played by 
Michael Pelosky at SPAH 2005 would  require any retooling whatsoever.  Wouldn't 
that then change it so it no  longer WAS the Renaissance?  Pardon my naivete, 
but why would Seydel  want or need to change it?
