[CAUT] Forte pianos

[Stephen E Kabat]

I know Juilliard has one as well, built by Chris Maene of Holland.

Of course!  Mike is a friend of mine and LOVES historical instruments.
That would only make sense that UPS would have one!  I would also bet that
Oberlin, Julliard, Berkley, Peapody and the like have them as well.

I doubt anyone from Indiana U is on the list, but they certainly have at
least one, plus a couple or three actual historical instruments (and I
think 18 harpsichords). Their full time harpsichord/fortepiano tech was
here in Albuquerque for a Baroque Double Reed seminar last summer, and I
spent some time with him, hence my knowledge of their inventory.
And, yes, there are MANY other instances, but I don't know specifics off
hand.

Hi all,

I have a quick question.  How many of you take care of replica fortepianos
in your colleges and universities?  I think I need to set our university
paper straight. They quoted that UNL has the only performing replica in the
US.  I say nay, but need the proof!

Thanks
Paul
