[CAUT] University of Ottawa

[RicB]

Thanks Alan.

I was wondering about how many instruments they had, and what kind of 
maintainance/renewal  budget and program they have.  I hear one of their 
Profs will be visiting our school this spring as well.  Anyways... just 
comparing notes with a friend who is going to take her masters there.  
Ottawa is not far from Buffalo NY... where I spent my first 6 years of 
school.  Doesnt strike me as the worst climate for pianos if I 
remember.... a bit on the dry side in the winter for sure but not so 
clammy in the summer either. Sound about right ?

Cheers
RicB

    The CAUT site lists Donald Cote and Scott Reeves (both RPTs) as the
    piano techs at U of Ottawa, however Anton Kuerti evidently just
    joined their faculty as a visiting professor of piano _______ so
    there'll be an extra person with tuning/voicing tools running around
    the department.
    Whether that will decrease or increase the work-load is anyone's
    guess.              :)

    I hope Don or Scott will chime in to let us know how things are
    going there.
