Congratulations to our Winners
Everyone who entered is a winner to us, but we only have a limited amount of prizes so...
We are awarding prizes for 1-5 place.
Because there were multiple winners for 2nd and 5th place, the winners in these categories
are listed in alphabetical order (by screen name).
I've indicated the winner's choice for their prize if I've heard from them.

The prize winners in our Post NAMM 2007 Picture Contest are:[/b]
1.) lkplatow = 27 - - Package # 6
----------------------------------------
2.) a: mr_super_hunky = 14 - - Package # 7
b: ShiroKuro = 14 - - Package # 8
---------------------------------------
3.) jon-nyc = 13 - - Package # 5
--------------------------------------
4.) Helen&Ken = 6 - - Package # 2
--------------------------------------
5.) a: CPTpianotech = 5
b: loveschopintoomuch = 5
c: oldcars = 5

To Claim Your Prize...[/b]
Winners get to chose one package based on the order of winning (see Prize Packages below).
This was Steve Cohen's suggestion, and I agree. As he pointed out, people might well have a preference in
which piano companies stuff they'd like to have.
This is the only way we could figure out to make it fair (we will come up with a better system next year).
Which means ... lkplatow has first choice, followed by
mr_super_hunky, ShiroKuro, jon-nyc, Helen&Ken, CPTpianotech, loveschopintoomuch, oldcars IN THAT ORDER.

If you are one of the winners listed above, you have to WAIT YOUR TURN to pick your prize package.[/b]
Of course, you could try to barter with one of the other winners, that's between you :-)
I will also mention this post in our next newsletter, coming out shortly.
I'd like to get this all wrapped up by the 17th, sooner if possible.
