Porritt I think our philosophy must be to make the students adaptable. They have a choice of Baldwin SD6, SD10, SF10, L and R / Steinway B, L, O, M / Yamaha C7, C3, G2 / Young Chang G157, G175, G185 / M&H A / 1889 Chickering w/Brown action and, if they get to accompany in voice studios / Mehlin and CF Stein. Steinway D's (H & NYC) are on stage and, if I ever get enough time to finish rebuilding it, Krakauer. 1876 Haines square by _very_ special request.
