>Would someone be so kind as to remind me whether Steinway publishes 
>actual recommendations for institutional piano service?  I thought I 
>recall some mention of this but I could be confusing it with the 
>CAUT guidelines.

>I have been caring for a 6 year old 'B' at the Asper Jewish 
>Community Campus here in Winnipeg, which is desperately in need of 
>attention.  
>This is a performance instrument in a small venue, which 
>nevertheless can't project well to the back of the hall.
>
>Artists are generally polite, but when pressed, usually agree that 
>the action is 'heavy and unresponsive' (I have the t/w numbers to 
>support this, but won't bore you with them ... yet) coupled with 
>relatively soft hammers.
>
>The challenge is to convince the generous donors of this instrument 
>that further investment is necessary to bring out it's best.  I'd 
>like to intersperse my recommendations with 'official' Steinway and 
>PTG bulletins.
>
>I'd be very grateful for any suggestions.

>Best regards from the frozen Canadian prairie,
