Action swapping

[J Patrick Draine]

My knowledge is *not* authoritative -- but -- my understanding was the
Krystian Zimmerman transports his own Steinway D, and has two actions
for it. I assume, depending on the hall and the repertoire, he'd
select the most appropriate one. I don't know what "the program" would
be -- possibly something the RCT Pianalyzer -- a spectrum analyzer,
possibly giving db readings as well?
