[CAUT] When to restring...

[Kent Swafford]

I cannot imagine having "fairly new" pianos at school. In a few days we will
finally be taking a 1904 Steinway A out of service from a voice studio. We
will be replacing it with, uh, an 1881 Steinway A in much better condition
than the 1904 instrument. That's my world.
