  Hi Jim, 

  How does one exactly push the door open farther once it is in? 

  And to all,  Thanks for such a great response to my questions.  It is helping out already!  The Music Director will return from an out-of-town trip Thursday, so I am getting prepared!

  Right on Chris! Wim, you absolutely need to get a budget - some kind of
  budget, then once your foot is in the door push to increase it. Use
  other institutions as examples (without whining).

  In defense of my approach, the problem I face is that I have no 
  budget. I have been asking for one for five years. The only time I got 
  any money was when we had a new chair, and she didn't know I was not 
  allowed to use money from a certain fund. I replaced hammers etc, on 
  the pianos I thought needed them the most, only to find that is not 
  what they wanted. 

  So now, with no budget, whenever there is a need, I go to the piano 
  area chair and the department chair and lay the problem on the table. 
  I do give them a figure of what it will cost, but other than that, I 
  leave the decision entirely up to them.
