Regarding the tuning business in Iceland the situation is ,that the
population here is about 260.000 so it is not a big country by any
standard. I own and operate a small piano store with two other technicians.
We are all fairly busy during most of the year but during the summer the
business is slow.We carry the Young Chang , Kawai, Bechstein and some other
brands and the the best selling pianos here are Samick and Young Chang ,
not because they are the best but because of the price.
Regarding Ashkenasy he lived here about 10-12 years ago , he had an
Icelandic wife. By the way he is comming here this next month to conduct
the Berlin philharmonic.
