[CAUT] Too tall!!??

[Ed Sutton]

A sheet of 1/2 inch plywood, about 4' by 4', in front of the piano, under the lyre and keybed, painted to match the stage floor.
Talk to the theater department, they should have set building material.

  Hi all. 

  this is a new one for me.  The Liszt Fest has started here at UNL through Saturday.  I just got a message from the stage manager. The pianists say the piano is too tall! It's on a piano truck.  What would I have them do....saw off a 1/2" of the legs? (LOL)   I'm thinking a half inch base under the lyre and bench (although it's adjustable) and paint them black. 

  Also, on another note; How do you all like to tune two pianos together?  One venue has a Baldwin D and Steinway D together, the other venue has a Steinway D and B to be tuned together on Friday (UGH!) I've done my usual for the 2 9'-ers but; Any tips on the 9' and 7' together would be great help.  I've never been happy with those two pianos together, but that's my only choice. 

  Thanks 
  Paul
