<html> <body> Gents, Something else which also might be of interest/use is an article (there are actually at least two - one appeared in the Journal, another, I think, in the Atlantic Monthly) done some years ago by Anton Kuerti in which he wrote about simple things that players could do to (generally and broadly) assess a piano.  Best.

I envision this not as an intro to working ON pianos so much as a class about their working WITH pianos. So many young pianists seem to  know very little about what it takes to service their instrument of choice. I thought I'd keep it extremely basic. I've got some action models and very good literature etc.. but I'd like to get ideas from more experienced CAUTs as to what you think I should cover. <dd>  <dd>Any thoughts are most appreciated. <dd>  <dd>Thanks, <dd>  <dd>Phil Romano <dd>Coastal Carolina University <dd>Conway, SC </dl></blockquote></body> </html>
