[pianotech] tuning cold pianos

[reggaepass at aol.com]

Yea Terry, and not only who tuned it, but when and with the piano at room temp or "pre-chilled"?  I watched the inauguration sitting next to a violist who assured us that Perlman and Yo Yo Ma were using "fiber instruments".  



Whatever the case, and despite the chill, they sounded great.  Nice to see music--and so many different kinds of music--fulfill its role in our country's awesome transfer of power.

On a related topic, I wonder who tuned the piano used 
outside at Barack Obama's inauguration. Must have been a real challenge - 
those were a few high-end performers on the stage - and the temperature sure 
looked COLD - and I noticed the sun shining directly on the piano (oh 
my!).
