Our recital halls are booked pretty solid so over use of the pianos is generally not a problem. The large recital hall has a $1,000.000 organ in it, so naturally the organ department thinks of it as an organ practice room. Also, the orchestra, wind ensemble, percussion ensemble frequently meet in there so getting time on the piano is a challenge. Naturally, this helps me. The other recital hall is also used a lot, and since the piano there is just a "B", there's not as much demand for it. We used to lock the pianos, now it's not really necessary. We do cover them though. The large hall has a "garage" for the pianos. dave David M. Porritt dporritt@swbell.net Meadows School of the Arts Southern Methodist University Dallas, TX 75275
