[CAUT] professor tuning variables

[reggaepass at aol.com]

Hi Jeff, 







Sounds like that might be a comment I made that you were attempting to cite.  If yes, then allow me to clarify: What I said was that we now have an arrangement whereby the PIANO SHOP (i. e, NOT the piano technician him- or her-self) gets compensated for any special tunings.  We are in the middle of such a project right now for an upcoming performance of a Ben Johnston piece, "Suite for Microtonal Piano," for which the shop will receive $$$ through recharge.  I make an estimate for what the cost will be, then the department making the request determines whether or not they have the funds, and we go from there.  This helps meter the flow of requests for special tunings while bolstering the shop budget in the process.

Hi Ric, 

<SNIP>

 


And while someone mentioned that we should charge extra for that sort of 
thing, you have to bear in mind it will probably be the salaried staff tech 
who can't change his income that will bear the brunt of most of that. 

 


Slippery slope thing.
