Dear List, Many of you may know Liz Baker RPT of St. Louis, MO, who among other assignments is the senior piano technician at the Marlboro (VT) Music Festival. I recently stopped in for a Wed. night dining hall concert (it's 45 minute drive), as well as checking out the new Bs fresh from NY Steinway. (Resonance you could do anything with, resonance to die for.) Ordinarily she has a radiant sunny disposition, unaffected by the behavior of pianos and pianists. But when it comes to climate control, sheriff Baker puts her foot down. For the last few years, each year Marlboro buys another free-standing room AC (I didn't look at the boiler plate for BTU capacity) for its rehearsal/practice rooms. But training musicians to use them gets ugly, as you can see. This 8-1/2x11 poster was tacked to the wall next to rehearsal room doors. With a glare like that I'd eat brussell sprouts and chopped liver! She sends her regards to friends on the list. Bill Ballard RPT NH Chapter, P.T.G.
