adjunct
today ,and received an apology, and we had a lengthy conversation about
,extending his concern for the Yamaha to include the whole piano ,inventory
(among many other things). At this point,
it looks like ,things may turn out well after all,
or at least as well as can be ,expected. The jury is still out over
whether Iwill hang in there at ,this university,
but at least this situation has not forced me to leave ,under negative
circumstances. I have a meeting later today with the ,adjunct and other
pianofaculty. Maybe we'll all plot to overthrow the ,Dean. Oops,
I didn't say that. Thanks again to all of you for your ,input - any more
ideas about new hammers would be great. That will be ,happening no matter
what.,,Jeff Stickney

Well, I was waiting to not be the first....
I'm of the school of authenticity, particularly in today's
environment of having artist endorsement wars and pianos as
investments. It won't be a Yamaha anymore without Yamaha hammers,
anymore than having a '66 Corvette with a Hemi is a Chevy. If you
change the hammer manufacturer, remove the name from the fallboard.
But that's me.
