A new kind of wading pool for the kids!

[Dave Forman]

Philadelphia Orchestra-during a rehearsal on Tuesday. 
Actually, a second Steinway that was being stored under the stage was
also damaged, but not as badly as the D. Some floorboards in Verizon
Hall at the Kimmel Center are warping, and at least 10 string players
have had some repairs to their instruments already.

Was there a concert with the Paris Orchestra ?

If so they are really not lucky actually.

too bad.

I repaired once an old grand that where filled by the heating system
flowing from above in the piano.

Too much work really - many parts where totally unglued.

Regards.
