style='font-size:12.0pt'>Thanks to everyone who responded to my questions.
There is much there to consider and I will let you know how I faired in the
process. It will continue to be a long one I fear. Talk about the "squeaky
wheel," check out the link below. I wish the piano faculty and I had
thought of this first. We will be lucky to get the crumbs after the money spent
on fixing the recording problem. BTW, the SSL recording console referred to in
the article, the circuits were fried this past summer due to high humidity! We
could buy several concert grands for what it is going to cost to replace it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
