---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I have to point out that there are some people who can and do prepare pianos without damage. We have a contemporary music group in residence at SMU. They _only_ perform contemporary music. The pianist who is also the director is very skilled at preparing and unpreparing the instrument (her husband is a part-time, very good piano technician). She occasionally gives classes on campus on how to do these things without damage. So far -- although I've only been here 15 years -- I've never had to repair any damage done by preparing the instrument. It's the skill and care of the preparer, not the music, that makes the difference. Now, broken strings and action parts from traditional music like Liszt, Prokofieff and Stravinsky......... dave _____________________________ David M.
