Meds, was: I'm back

[Tom Servinsky]

Bill,
The  Yamaha did great throughout the tour. Stayed somewhat stable given that
there were some temperature swings which came into play.
Actually the Yamaha CF111 is quite an instrument. The bass is about as
musical and pronounced as a bass should ever be. The tenor was very warm.
The killer octave was strong, And the upper registered sparkled.
The only consistent problem I found was F6, F#6, and and G6 had problems on
the capo bar. The Yamahas we used in the USA all had the same capo problem
on the same notes. At least they are consistent. It think it was in the way
the bar was cast. The recording we ended up making in NYC sounded as close
to good  Steinway as you could get.
Have to hand it to Yamaha...they are doing nice work!
Tom Servinsky, RPT
