Hello, all --

Thanks to Ted Simmons, I've found the article which Horace mentions below,
in the March '75 Journal. There are two parts, one revised by Anton Kuerti
for the Journal, entitled, "What Pianists Should Know About Pianos", and
the other, "Anton Kuerti's Step-by-step Guide for determining if your piano
is in good regulation."

and, boy, do they look good....
