Terry Farrell =20 ----- Original Message -----=20 From: philromano@attglobal.net=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 6:35 PM Subject: Erard Grand Piano I have to chime in here to tell a very sad story. a number of years = ago I was called to by my brother ( a sound system installer) to come to = a nightclub that he had been contracted by, to look at a piano that the = owners wanted to get "tuned". This particular nightclub catered to gay = clientele ( as Jerry Seinfeld said "not that there's anything wrong with = that!"). The piano was similar to what is being described here. The = owner's grandma had left it to her and she thought it would be the = perfect thing to use in the "piano bar" section of the club. The = instrument needed much TLC and the services of someone like Ed Swenson = et al. I pleaded with them to remove it from the premises and have a = proper restoration done or sell it to me. They wouldn't hear of it. The = last I heard they had removed the action, painted it white and installed = some electronic keyboard and had many patrons dancing on the lid to the = booming beat of the DJ. The action ended up in the dumpster and was = carted off before I could retrieve it. The club has since long closed. = Good riddance. May the Erard r.i.p.
