[CAUT] CAUT Fortepiano for University

[David Doremus]

  Ed, you made me laugh with that one. I remember the Levine School  in 
DC many years ago getting money donated to buy a French Double from the 
Wolfs, in burgundy and gold of course, just a gorgeous instrument. When 
I went to see it on site it was in a tiny room parked next to a radiator 
and completely out of regulation. Lord. I think Barbara ended up reading 
them the riot act and it survived, but I wonder if now it is any more 
than decoration <g>
