How long have you been using it and do= customers actually use it? How did you go about setting it up?= David Ilvedson Original message From: Brad Smith, RPT To: College and University Technicians Received: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 22:14:11 -0500 Subject: RE: [CAUT] William Wolfram Right on David! Wim, we seldom get 'our day in court' even if we are right. Sincerely seeking specific feedback eases tension, and helps us= diagnose both pianist and piano. Most of all they feel 'heard', and it tends to change their= 'hearing'.

An email or letter, phone= call to him would probably make him feel like he's been taken= seriously and YOU want to fix the problems (if any)... David Ilvedson Original message From: To: Received: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 18:21:59 EST Subject: [CAUT] William Wolfram The above named pianist played the Beethoven C minor on the new= Steinway, (the one I've been telling you about), with the= Alabama Symphony in our concert hall several weeks ago.= Unfortunately, after the concert, Mr. Wolfram supposedly made= the comment "I will never come to Tuscaloosa again if I have to= play on this instrument". What didn't help is that our local= paper's critic heard about the comment, and trashed the= instrument in the paper. Although I don't think the piano is as bad as it is being made= out to be, I am taking a lot of heat from the some of the= faculty members. I reminded them that 5 previous concert artists= didn't say anything about the piano. In fact, two of them had= their choice between our two grands, and chose the new one. My question to you guys is this. Have any of you had any= experience dealing with Mr. Wolfram? I don't know the man, but= have heard he is young and inexperienced. I've heard, from you= guys, that the better players know how to play on any piano, but= the less experienced are more critical.
