Is there a tuning technique there that you want to share with the list???

Of course, that would have been true of the OLD pianos as well if we hadn't swung this deal. I didn't get to hear the broadcast because I was chasing the piano movers around with a clipboard but for those interested it can be heard by following this link: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98133477 We receive 21 more pianos next week which makes for a total of 73 (mostly Steinway grands) so far. For the most part, all have been very well prepped and musically voiced, especially the larger grands. Everything has been at least up to pitch and still sounding decent after a week. We've gotten 8 1098's and I'm very happy with them. They are well-voiced, regulated and pretty much in tune...I haven't tuned one personally yet but haven't heard any complaints from my assistants. One amazing side effect of this purchase is that we're getting 165 new benches! Everything except the Boston uprights are coming with Jansen artist benches. You all should see the pile of warranty packets I'm accumulating.

I haven't had time yet to search it and listen myself, but congratulations, Eric, you're a star! :-) Regards, Fred Sturm University of New Mexico fssturm at unm.edu
