Glenn Gould's piano

That piano was purchased through Ostrovsky Piano Co., for
whom I worked as an independent outside contractor for 11
years.  I had tuned it, yeah, I did _some_ floor tunings
there, it and essentially liked it but it did not fire my
rocket like it did his.  I have the recording and the one
thing I don't like about it is that it is all one track. 
Darned pain in the back side.

After Gould signed off on the piano it was locked, covered
and shoved into the back for safe keeping.  He did not want
ANYONE playing with the piano, even tuning or prepping it.

(Head shaking sigh).  Strange fellow.
