prepaired concert piano

      I agree with others on the list.It is best to use an older piano.
Watch out for tape residue as well as fingers on the strings.I have had 
people put  tape on dampers so they know what strings to pluck.Some types of 
tape leave a gooey mess.Suggest they cut up "post it" notes,or maybe bits of 
masking tape.I had one weirdo actually put bits of white hospital tape 
wrapped around the bass and treble strings.This same person also marked the 
bass strings with purple chalk.What a mess.After that we no longer rent our 
concert pianos for new "music"performances.          Robin Olson   RPT
