Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin Piano Breaks in Yo-Yo Ma Concert .c The Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) - Luckily for Yo-Yo Ma, there was a doctor in the house. A concert featuring the cellist had an unexpected delay when a 9-foot Steinway piano broke in the middle of Beethoven's Triple Concerto. Although Ma waved his handkerchief inside the piano in an attempt to rouse the ailing instrument, it took a piano doctor waiting in the wings to set things straight. As the repair expert hustled on stage Thursday to fix the concert grand piano, Ma and other musicians entertained the giggling crowd of 1,800 at the University of California, Los Angeles. In less than 10 minutes, a tiny platform that holds the keystroking levers was fixed, and the show went on to the applause of the audience, some of whom had paid $500 for their seats. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
