Sheet Music Cabinets - The Making Of A Masterpiece

I was invited to tour the plant of GRK Mfg in Hamilton Ohio a few weeks ago and was thoroughly impressed with what I witnessed while walking through the more than 100 year old building. I was able to witness a sheet music cabinet being hand crafted from beginning to end by the craftsman at GRK. While it takes many days and man hours to complete one unit, walking the floor and seeing the entire process while viewing the multiple stages was truly fascinating.Craftsmanship meeting modern technology is seen early in the process as the wood pieces are inspected for any flaws by the hands and eyes of an expert craftsman. The pieces of wood that do proceed are then placed into modern cutting, drilling, sanding and finishing equipment until a kit of pieces is provided to a cabinet craftsman. The craftsman takes the individual pieces and begins to assemble them into drawers and cabinets, matching them to exact specifications and tolerances within a few thousandths of an inch. When the unfinished cabinet has had been assembled along with the drawers, it is tested and then the drawers are removed from the unit to be finished.GRK has an ultra modern finishing facility that has the capability of being completely dust and particle free. This is an expensive undertaking for the company but is the only way that fine sheet music cabinets could be completed and accepted by the discriminating customers it enjoys having relationships with. The individual pieces are finished as many as six times each before reaching just the right finish to be called a GRK brand cabinet. The individual pieces are given time to dry and then reassembled to ensure that the fit is to the same tolerance as was provided earlier in the process. This refitting is done by hand to ensure a high level of quality. Once the unit has passed the inspection of the final master craftsman the unit is ready to be shipped to the lucky customer.After witnessing this process first hand I believe I am right in using the word lucky to describe the customer. They have purchased a beautiful sheet music cabinet to exactly match their piano that will be in their family for generations to come.

Citizen Watches - Citizen Men's Titanium Skyhawk A-T JY0010-50E Watch Review

If you've seen it before, then you would know. Maybe on television in a commercial, or on a billboard when you were on the road. The JY0010-50E from Citizen watches is perhaps the finest watch ever made by Citizen. With looks of regality and countless features that would require time to go over in the manual, the A-T titanium Citizen skyhawk model is very possibly the just right watch to satisfy your needs of style, looks and functionality. Being made of titanium you get a sleeker finish but also a stronger and yet at the same time lighter watch. The earlier models of Citizen signature skyhawk AT series had stainless steel case and many people felt the watches were too heavy for their wrist. In order to resolve this, the company came out with titanium case in JY0010-50E to make the weight of the watch lighter. The titanium is nearly half of the weight of stainless steel but almost 30% stronger than the stainless steel. Another advantage of titanium is, unlike steel it doesn't make your wrist smell bad when you sweat. The watch has extremely good size, has a lot of features and more importantly you don't need to feel all that weight on your wrist unlike previous similar models. The details on watch are extra ordinary, from the case and bracelet to the dial of the watch.If you have owned Citizen watches before, then you would know that the company takes their craft very seriously and focuses their effort to bring out the best watches in the industry to all the watch consumers out there. And then they outdo themselves, again and again. Almost all the features in this watch are exceptional, but the atomic time feature is very noteworthy in that it ensures the most accurate timekeeping all over the world. The watch is able to read signals from virtually any available towers in the United States, Europe, Japan, and some other supported regions. Originally Citizen skyhawk meant to serve solely to the tastes of pilots who needed this real time function, but the watch soon became very admired among frequent travelers who need to travel between different time zones frequently. The watch displays dual time zone on the dial i.e. home time and visiting time.Amid group of other features, there are four main features, which actually make the USP of this watch. The USP of this watch lies in the eco-drive technology, atomic time keeping abilities, dual time zone display, and titanium case. The eco-drive technology sets you free from dilemma of replacing the battery in your watch ever few years and the atomic time keeping function sets the time in your watch automatically and keeps it accurate and synchronized with atomic watches around the world.When venturing into the upper echelon of Citizen watches you will find yourself face to face with this Citizen men's titanium skyhawk A-T flight chronograph watch. Moreover, when you have the watch around your wrist, you would know why most of the watch collectors around the world have named Citizen JY0010-50E as watch of the year. You have to try it in order to believe it, and I am very certain you would not be disappointed. If you want to try one of the best, then have a look at this watch.
