---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I wonder who they get to write these articles. Kind of makes me wonder what the real problem was. I have done a few last minute repairs with the crowd in the house, but in the middle of the concert with applause following, must have been a rush for the tech. John Stroup Piano Breaks in Yo-Yo Ma Concert .c The Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) - Luckily for Yo-Yo Ma, there was a doctor in the house. A concert featuring the cellist had an unexpected delay when a 9-foot Steinway piano broke in the middle of Beethoven's Triple Concerto. Although Ma waved his handkerchief inside the piano in an attempt to rouse the ailing instrument, it took a piano doctor waiting in the wings to set things straight. As the repair expert hustled on stage Thursday to fix the concert grand piano, Ma and other musicians entertained the giggling crowd of 1,800 at the University of California, Los Angeles. In less than 10 minutes, a tiny platform that holds the keystroking levers was fixed, and the show went on to the applause of the audience, some of whom had paid $500 for their seats. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
