So the lid = is not solid structurally, but still heavy. I think one lid prop could = flex the lid and if someone leaned on it they would break all that = glass. =20 Sundance film festival. They had 4 of the "Steinway legends" and they = didn't really use them for concerts, just for the public to play, = although I did have to tune them daily. (The room was awful! Hot & cold = w/ radiant heaters) In addition to the 4 "legends" they brought #365 for = nightly concerts. A GREAT piano! I tuned it nightly for the concerts but = the others were just for the public. Some great jazz artists there. =20 Regards =20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----- From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of = Barbara Richmond Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2005 5:24 PM To: College and University Technicians Subject: Re: [CAUT] Fwd: Chihuly Steinway =20 Hey Jim, =20 Actually, I was sort of wondering where the glass came in--hard to = tell in the picture, except there's something interesting on the = underside of the lid. =20 =20 You worked on it!! Was it for a concert? Hmm, I wonder what the = repertoire would be for a piano like that? :-) =20 =20 Barbara Richmond =20 (There was an excellent Chihuly exhibit here in Peoria a little over a = year ago----truly stunning.) =20 =20 ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Jim Busby=20 To: College and University Technicians=20 Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2005 4:24 PM Subject: RE: [CAUT] Fwd: Chihuli Steinway =20 Hi Barbara, =20 It has 2 lid props because the stained glass (plastic?) in the top = made the lid unstable (AND, I'm sure, for artistic reasons :-).

I can't remember what the = supports on the bottom side of the lid are called. Do they light up or = are they just plexiglass with colored rods inside? =20 My 8 year old son would love it.
