<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Richard, I will be applying for the
position. I have all the requirements asked for except the
forte-piano. Is there a way either than the size of the tuning hammer I
don't have that needs to be displayed to the faculty? I have tuned
harpsichords both basic and multi-level keyboards, but they are far and few
between. Before I submit, please advise me how to word this and how many, how
often, etc, this is needed for the university. I would also like to know
what courses you teach in piano design. I can do this too, but would like
to know how technical these courses are. Thank you for letting me know of
this position and I will be applying shortly. \</FONT></DIV>
