>>> richard west <rwest@unlinfo.unl.edu> 02/18/95 03:35pm >>> First, I want to thank everyone who offered assistance on the care and feeding of fortepianos. It has been helpful and appreciated. Thirdly, I understand from a post from vince that pianotech was down last weekend. I posted a query then and have received no response. I assume it got lost in cyberspace so I'll repeat it. We have two piano faculty positions that will be filled this year and next. I will be meeting with the first 4 candidates next month. What would be the top 5 questions you would ask prospective piano faculty? Are there any clues (signs, auras, strange behaviors, etc.) that might tip off the temperamental (no pun intented) artiste who feeds on the flesh of unsuspecting piano technicians? Richard West Naive Nebraskan rwest@unlinfo.unl.edu You, as piano technician get to interview prospective piano faculty ?!! I'm surprised. It's been my experience that the ones who genuinely know something of their instrument, as opposed to those who think they know, are much easier to get along with, maybe because they DO understand somewhat what goes into being a piano technician. Maybe a question or two about what they know about their instrument would be in order. But since I haven't been in the position you are, maybe I'm off base. Anyway, just a thought. happy interviewing vince mrykalo rpt
