In a message dated 98-04-14 23:08:19 EDT, you write: << <<"How in the heck does one rassle a 1098 into submission?">> <<"My Army unit, The United States Army Field Band is about to acquire two of these puppys">> "Any thoughts?" Ray: I hear the Marines are looking for "a few good musicians"!! :-) Ray, in my opinion, a properly constructed, regulated, voiced, and tuned Steinway grand is one of the finest pianos in the world...a 1098 isn't :-( Jim Bryant (FL) >> Another useless, waste of bandwidth answer from the commander in chief of the Baloney Bunch. Why do you just HAVE to comment when you don't really have an answer to his question? Are we all now supposed to think that tuning the 1098 is going to be a waste of time, energy and technique? Is there nothing which can be done for them? Does categorically ruining the reputation of a particular model of piano serve any purpose? Does it make you feel better? Do you think it makes you look wiser and more qualified in the eyes of others for you to announce in effect that this was a poor purchase, a poor decision and that there are no established techniques which will do this instrument any good?
