<DIV>Absolute ditto here. Worked with him many times and he is by far one of the
nicest guys in the business. He does clearly know what he wants and what he is
getting, so just do your best. I have prepped "house" Steinways for him as well
as Yamaha rentals. He sounds great on either. Enjoy.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi, Paul -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have worked with Chick several times. He is indeed a gentleman as
well as a wonderfully creative musician. From my experience, he will be
grateful for your efforts and not give you any difficulty.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bring your wife to the concert for Valentine's, and have a great
time!</DIV>

face=sans-serif size=2>I am about to embark on the most important concert
prep I have done to this point. Chick Corea is coming to town on
February 14 (not a day to my wife's liking!). He is playing with Gary Burton
on vibes and that is all. I was wondering if any of you have tuned for
him before? I spoke with his personal tech in LA a couple of days ago,
and then he e-mailed me about 30 hours of work to do on our Steinway D. (His
tech is apparantly not in the Guild, but has been in the biz for some 30
years+) I have no doubts that the piano will be beautiful, and I think
the piano will probably meet his standards in about 15-20 hours. that's not
my point. I am just inquiring as to any tips you all can give me if
you have worked for the gentleman.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
