In a message dated 98-09-17 23:56:04 EDT, you write: << I will be tuning a recently purchased new "middle of the road" grand piano that will be used on a concert stage. The piano is a Weber with a 6'1" length. I've already convinced the stage manager to purchase a Dampp-Chaser system and a piano cover. The stage will be fairly cool year round except when the lights are on for concerts. What are some other things I can do to help, protect and maintain this brand spanking new piano? (Besides tune it four times in the upcoming year?) I'm all ears >> Ask them to build a cabinet on stage in which the piano can be stored when it is not in use. The cover will only protect the piano from small items set on it. But stage hands have a tendency to use a grand piano as a step ladder, or work bench. Willem Blees
