Dear List: In the latest Music Trades (April 2000) there are a few interesting items: Short article on Piano 300 at the Smithsonian. Inside cover for Steinway with a photo of the Tricentennial Piano, with case designed by Dakota Jackson. Sort of art deco, with a strange looking lid. Statistics on musical instrument sales. Sales of verticals and grands both down from 1998 (-5% composite). Sales of electronic player pianos way way up (+39%)! Information gleaned from ads: the latest stencil name for Pearl River: Ritmuller (with an umlaut). It's worth dropping by your friendly music dealer's shop for a quick scan. Patrick
