[pianotech] Anchors Aweigh!

[Conrad Hoffsommer]

If I heard/recall correctly, when I was tuning for a big Baldwin dealer, Iturbi would be the draw for sales and he'd sign any that were bought while he was there...

We have a Baldwin D (1956) signed by him
on the plate!

    I understand from a reliable source
that Jose Iturbi would refuse to 

play any other piano than a Baldwin.  I could see names on some of
the 

fallboards in this YouTube clip, but couldn't make them out clearly.  Anyone


??
