If it were me, I'd probably keep the piano going after the intro, perhaps quietly playing only chords, and bring in the guitar over the last few intro notes.

I do kinda like the abrupt brake, but I also like your suggestion and will give it a try.

I like that idea, I did try Tina Guo Cello - I will revist this.

thanks much - kinda fun being a producer isn't it? And certainly nice to have a producer's input.
