piano tech. position

[Conrad Hoffsommer]

Don,

>One of the primary arguments will be the number of pianos per technician. 
>Also, these numbers compared to the number of piano majors. If anyone is 
>willing to share their numbers with me I would be most grateful. Send 
>privately if you wish. 

Here at my college:
~280 music majors - dept. sec. didn't know piano majors, but enough lewsons
for 2 full and 2 part-time piano faculty
90 pianos (includes 1 fortepiano, 1 square)
4 harpsichords
5 pipe organs
43 full/part/adjunct faculty
0.95 technicians

In near future: addition to building which will add at least 3 more pianos
and one more concert venue.
