I wish I had faith like many of you have voiced, but I have yet to be convinced of God’s promise to us that He would only give us what was best for us. My mother died of pancreatic cancer and she was the only piano teacher in her rural area so after she died, a number of young students had no one to teach them how to play the piano.

I’ve been curious about this product, too. Please update after you’ve tried it for about a month, Ron.
