Showed up for<BR>the gig and here they have this NY S&a= mp;S D with the number 410 where the<BR>serial number usually is. Didnt l= ook all that old really, tho with all<BR>the gadgets attached... Helpenst= ills, Seducers, Barcas Barries... :)<BR>they had 4 or 5 different mic set= ups and in addition they had real<BR>mics.... I didnt get to really look = all that close.<BR><BR>I got to see something I'd never seen before. They= rolled this thing on<BR>stage in a flight case on its long side. Stuck t= he back leg on, the<BR>right leg, and the lyre, and then tilted it right = out of the case onto<BR>the lyre and back leg before tilting it over and = lifting up the left<BR>side to get that leg on. Worked like a charm, but = I'd thought the lyre<BR>would have never held up. They carry this thing a= ll around the world<BR>with them.<BR><BR>Anyways... in and out in 50 minu= tes with stage hands around didnt leave<BR>much time for inspection, but = I was curious as to what the number 410<BR>stood for.<BR><BR>RicB<BR><BR>= --<BR>Richard Brekne<BR>RPT, N.P.T.F.<BR>UiB, Bergen, Norway<BR><A href== "mailto:rbrekne@broadpark.no">mailto:rbrekne@broadpark.no</A><BR><A href== "http://home.broadpark.no/~rbrekne/ricmain.html">http://home.broadpark.no= /~rbrekne/ricmain.html</A><BR><BR><BR>___________________________________= ____________<BR>pianotech list info: <A href="http://www.ptg.org/mailma= n/listinfo/pianotech">https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</A><B= R><BR>. </TD></TR> <TR> <TD id=INCREDIFOOTER width="100%"> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"> <TBODY> <TR> <TD width="100%"></TD> <TD id=INCREDISOUND vAlign=bottom align=middle></TD> <TD id=INCREDIANIM vAlign=bottom align=middle></TD></TR></TBODY></T= ABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><SPAN id=IncrediStamp><SPAN dir=ltr><F= ONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>______________________= ______________________________<BR><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2><= A href="http://www.incredimail.com/redir.asp?ad_id=309&lang=9">= <IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:BAB5C9AE-7700-11D7-B7CA-0000B45A563C"= align=baseline border=0></A>  <I>IncrediMail</I> - <B>Email has= finally evolved</B> - </FONT><A href="http://www.incredimail.com/redir= .asp?ad_id=309&lang=9"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>= <B><U>Click Here</U></B></FONT></A></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></BODY></HTML>
