Somwhere in between the time I left the tuning & his short sessions with both pianos he was able to astutely choose what would be palyed on whihc. Impressive.</EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>   This Rochester formula of playing these Custom restored pianos  in class (again) and concert seems to be of intense interest to all as was evidenced by how many stayed  to hear the concert after a long day of classes & the gracious comments of support to Dave & I.  We are both grateful.</EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>  My respect for the Convention team is inestimable.  Under the visionary thinking of Captain Roland Kaplan & crew  Fenton Murray, Neil Panton, Dave Stahl, Bob Brown, Karen & Tom Cole & so many others the successful convention was extremely well thought out & organized,  & you guys did it with grace & smiles.</EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>  My hats off....Please take another bow</EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>  Blessings to you all</EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>  Dale</EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>  By the Way my pal Mark Shechter  R.P.T. relayed that the Steinway B he & I partnered on to rebuild recently was for Kenrics teacher in S.F.  Small world aye?</EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Verdana color=#000000 size=2> <DIV>It was pretty amazing.  His playing has emotional depth far beyond his years.  He was able to utilize the full potential of the two wonderful pianos provided by Dale and David.  Dale's piano was perfect for the Haydn Sonata, and the rich sonorities of Rachmaninoff and Chopin were a perfect match for David's B.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>All who were present--particularly the Santa Clara Valley Chapter--were truly honored to be in the presence of the great work of three world class artists.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks, guys!  Great Conference!<SPAN contentEditable=false style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV style="CLEAR: both">Dave Stahl<BR><BR>Dave Stahl Piano Service<BR>650-224-3560<BR>dstahlpiano@sbcglobal.net<BR>http://dstahlpiano.net/<BR></DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
