Ed Hilbert rote, 4/13/96: << I presume Bill, that you intend for the concert artist to play the concert holding the piano up on his/her knees so as to let the leg hang without being flexed!!! No Bill, the wheels should be in line with the front to back of the piano so as not to flex the keybed.>> The misunderstanding could be mine. I was assuming that the flex occurs only when the piano gets pushed around on stage. In ths case, it could easily be relieved by lifting the wheels slightly off the floor. If the flex is going to accumulate under the excercize of playing, or for that matter sitting undisturbed, then, yes the pianist has an extra chore (which they could hand to the page turner). Do I misunderstand? <<by the way Bill, I got the paper, where can I get the mental?>> At the deli counter. Have 'em slice it real thin. Bill Ballard PT NH Chapt.
