Hevac1, I understand your point! And after a few Quaaludes, who gave a shit about the music or sound systems :-) 
What's up with the 'Piano' gloss????
Expanding on Rives post, and my previous post, I think that "Piano Gloss" is very popular and probably has a higher universal "WAF" than other exotic woods or finishes.Personally, I love exotic woods and finishes, but there is usually an expensive...

Cat Power selling diamonds?
