Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
(Operator Instructions) Your first question comes from Arnie Ursaner with CJS Securities.
Arnold Ursaner - CJS Securities
Focusing a little bit on the New York piano plant, you mentioned you had six unplanned days that were shut and you had 16 days that it was shut in total?
Dana Messina
Right.
Arnold Ursaner - CJS Securities
I thought we were looking perhaps more than another week or two of complete closure of the facility during the quarter. Are you finding that you can do this on a more reduced production schedule rather than just shutting the plant?
Dana Messina
We’ve been handling it by really taking out extra days so the six extra days that we took out really is what reduces the rate..
Arnold Ursaner - CJS Securities
You mentioned in Q3 and 4 you intend to continue to have a reduced production schedule. You mentioned a lower daily rate but you normally have a one week closure in the summer. Are you planning to go beyond that one week closure at this point?
Dennis Hanson
It’s normally three weeks in the summer and right now we’ve not announced any other additional shut downs.
Arnold Ursaner - CJS Securities
Okay. I was a little unclear on your comment regarding the Elkhorn plant. This is not the one that had the lengthy strike, is it?
Dana Messina
No, that’s Elkhart. Elkhorn is in Wisconsin. It’s much smaller. We shut it down earlier this year and we’re now just going through the process of disposing the assets.
Arnold Ursaner - CJS Securities
I have a couple for Dennis if I can. Dennis, can you give us CapEx and D&A for the quarter and your comments or views on the balance of the year?
Dennis Hanson
CapEx, I think we mentioned, was $1.3 million for the quarter which is down a little bit and depreciation and amortization about $2.8 million for the quarter. We expect it to stay pretty much in line with historical numbers, Arnie.

My final question if I can, I noticed you have a new category in your revenue components called online music sales. Can you tell us a little more about what it is and perhaps give us an idea of what we should expect in that going forward?
Dana Messina
It’s really a very small business that helps us generate traffic in our different music businesses. It’s called Arkiv Music, A-R-K-I-V, ArkivMusic.com if you want to visit the website and buy some music, but it’s a completely classical music focus seller of old classical recordings and it fits right into our customer base at Steinway. But it’s tiny. I think we did less than $1 million of revenue in the quarter.
