Hi Don,

Here are the numbers for my university:
  1. 87 pianos (in music building, there are approx. 13 others scattered
across     campus)
  2. 3 harpsichords
  3. 36 piano majors, 225 music majors total (many of whom use the
pianos)
  4. 1 piano technician

I would be very interested in whatever results you get from this and the
database that you mentioned, as I am pushing for assistance here. I am
normally so busy doing tuning and concert work that I have very little
time for rebuilding, rehammering, regulating, etc.  A little help would
vastly improve our maintenance program.
