London bridge & Historical tunings

[Jim Coleman, Sr.]

Someone suggested that the London bridge may be in Texas.

Well,it happens to be in Arizona on the Colorado river, but on the 
Arizona side. This move was made as a promotional thing to attract
people to the new development in Lake Havasu City, AZ. The only reason I 
know is that I was sent there to troubleshoot a piano which had bridge 
problems. I did not try to change either bridge, but bridge-pins? yes.

Incidentally, for those nostalgically inclined. there is a nice London
appearing street below the bridge which will make you feel immediately 
that you are in London, UK. Lots of quaint little shops.

Come to Arizona, Help keep our state green, bring money.

Last night I had a call from a member of this list who is coming to 
Arizona for a conference. He was surprized to learn that we have quite a 
varied climate here from hot desert to snow capped mountains. Our highest 
mountain is over 12,000 ft. and sometimes is snowcapped in June.

PS for those interested, I will be doing a 3 hour class on historical 
tuning. There will be 3 Steinway L's, each of which will have a different 
tuning. This conference will be on Jan 4, 5th at the Arizona State 
University Music building. There will be professional pianists there to 
play the piano for your listening pleasure. Handouts will show how to
develop your own Well temperaments using a computer spreadsheet. There 
will be several other very interesting classes. See the Journal for
contact information and registration fee..
