Paul, I agree. I'm REALLY looking forward to being in the new building. We're supposed to actually have some humidity & temperature control! I'm just not too thrilled with the process of getting there. :-) Now if I actually get the new, expensive workbench I asked for......... >Even with all the headachs,etc. I'm sure no one needs to tell you how >envious we all are. New facilities, new instruments, a new shop..... I >should live so long. > >Paul E. Dempsey By the way, in relation to new instruments (there's not going to be *that* many, except for a lot more lease instruments), the local Kawai/Baldwin dealer wants to put his new Kawai EX & GS-100, plus a new Baldwin out here with our new Steinway D(s) and maybe our rebuilt American D and have a sort of "play-off". Sounds like fun and might prove to be very interesting! I've tuned and/or prepped both the GS-100 and the Baldwin and in our new Opera Hall, IMHO, the only ones that would probably work well in a concerto situation are our rebuilt D, the EX and, depending, the new D. Horacio Gutierrez is picking out our new D and he said he was having trouble finding one he *really* liked. So, we'll see. Stay tuned for the next installment. :-) Avery _____________________________________ Avery Todd Moores School of Music University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-4893 atodd@uh.edu _____________________________________ Help stop Internet spam!
