>>What is the correct english term for orchestra paid by state ? Im sure you dont want me answering this question! ;-) Dean Dean May cell 812.239.3359 PianoRebuilders.com 812.235.5272 Terre Haute IN 47802 _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Stéphane Collin Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2007 5:44 PM To: Pianotech List Subject: Re: electronics replacing pianos? Hi Avery. By subventionned orchestra, I meant an orchestra whose costs are paid by the State. Sorry for my poor unsubventionned english. In small Belgium, the land is divided into two major subcountries : Flanders and Walloony. Flanders is richer than Walloony. I unfortunately happen to live in the Walloony side of the land. To give you an example of the kind of bucks we get in here for artistic work, I had an important order from the state to compose a 40 minutes piece for a 30 person orchestra. It took me more than one year to achieve this. They paid me 3000 euros, which is about 4000 US dollars. One year work. Now you know why I tweak old pianos. What is the correct english term for orchestra paid by state ?
