List, Was just wondering if any of you have to service/maintain a Fortepiano at your school. I received a call yesterday from a faculty member that said there may be money to buy one, he's forming a committee and wondered what I thought about it and if I'd be willing to serve on that committee. Of course, I said yes. My question(s): 1. Is there much difference in the maintenance and regulation of these instruments compared to the modern grand? 2. What about the tuning? Stability, pitch level, etc. 3. Is there someplace I can get information about all this? 4. What are good brands/sources? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Avery P.S. Just what I need. Another instrument to maintain. :-) ______________________________________ mailto:atodd@uh.edu - Work "I haven't failed. I've found 10,000 ways that mailto:avery@ev1.net - Home won't work."
