[CAUT] Re: from piano technician,Thailand

[Timur Rizayev]

Thanks All for reply. Yesterday, Gustavo Romero, professor of North
Texas University has given the colo piano concert in University New
Auditorium. It was wondering, unforgettible event. He played on new
"Fazioli"-278, because was not satisfied with new "Steinway"D
(Hamburg). He thought also about our"Yamaha" GHIIIS. His concert on
"Fazoili"  was fine, he made the recording. Totaly, with his great
playing few unisons went out of tune little bit and some treble tone
produced the "zing" sound. The piano produced real pianissimo, and
fortissimo without so much metallic sounds. After the concert I told
him:"It's definely your piano!"
He told, he come to Mahidol University next December.
with  great wishes
