Confidence and optimism.

Indeed I’m optimistic that Trump cares enough about the stock market and inflation that he does whatever he needs to keep those ratings, I mean numbers, up. Not joking!

I agree with that. Though the bond market, which he doesn’t pay attention to, may be his cruelest master.

So far, everything seems fine.

That said, quite a few of us in the piano rebuilding industry get soundboard and pinblock materials from Bolduc in Canada. This could add a pretty good chunk to the retail cost of a restoration. Or, I suppose more folks would try a handful of other suppliers. They're out there, but tend to be spotty in terms of reliably having product.
