Dear Friends, On March 1, 1997 I had the opportunity to tune for duo pianists "Markham and Broadway", as they traveled through Joplin for the Community Concert Series. Markham and Broadway traveled with the Humgarian Festival Virtuosi, and performed the Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns. They were traveling with two Yamaha CFIIIS concert grands, and I was quite impressed both with the pianos and with the performers. The pianists were very easy going, but extremely good! The only reason that I was called to tune is that I could tune to A-442 (with my trusty SAT!) to match the pitch of the marimba. The other tuners in town didn't have an A-442 tuning fork, I guess. To my ear (untrained in voicing) the pianos were well matched. If you can help it, DON'T miss the concert!
