information for a dissertation

[LHudicek@AOL.COM]

Hello Piano Technicians,

I am a pianist writing a dissertation on prepared piano and playing on the 
inside of the piano and was wondering if I could get some thoughts from some 
of you on the subject, good AND bad!  My goal is to write a document that 
helps pianists who are starting this music for the first time.  Hopefully, it 
will help them, also, to not damage the instrument at all.

Any strong feelings?  

Have you ever seen any damage from this type of music? (i.e. damage to the 
strings, dampers, soundboard, etc?)

Thank you!
