[CAUT] to sign or not to sign

[Richard Brekne]

Hi Dennis.

That sounds quite reasonable to be sure.  I suppose there are many who 
would take a similar view. My point tho, that whatever view you take, 
however this kind of thing is handled, there will no doubt be notable 
difference of opinion. For that matter, the same applies to pianotechs 
signing off a kind og service log on the keys inside the instrument... 
or any other permanent marking.  Personally, I dont really like 
signatures and would opt for some kind of attached guest book. But then 
there you go. Different strokes.

Cheers

        I always presumed this practice was an honor to be asked. At
        least that is
        how it goes here. It's something the piano faculty decide to
        request as a
        meaningful gesture of gratiude to a particular guest artist of their
        choosing. Not the other way round. In any case, I wouldn't be
        included in
        the discussion. That's a call for the piano faculty.
