RC vs CC again

[Don]

Hi Paul,

Old man Steinway was very crafty. He offered artists a grand piano anywhere
they played with three days notice for free, on the condition that the
artist only perform on his instruments. Is it any wonder that arts
organisations bought Steinway--when every artist that came through asked
for one? I don't agree that "power to project" belongs only to the name
Steinway, or even to most Steinways. The Sydney Opera house for example has
3 Hamburg Steinway "d" pianos that are on a constant replacement rotation.
When the piano is five years old it is replaced.
