It makes a nice difference, but what a dirty, hands-in-tight-places job! dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 4/19/02 at 12:02 PM Avery Todd wrote: And don't forget about repairing piano benches! :-) Avery In a message dated 4/19/02 8:27:09 AM Central Daylight Time, atodd@UH.EDU writes: I do have one question. Do you really think harpsichords should be included in this? It seems as though the amount of tunings they require, compared to a piano, would mess up the numbers. If they are used regularly, they should probably be tuned weekly. Daily when being used in performance. And that depends on the repertoire. It varies so much. At least in my situation. Not only should you include the harpsichord, because it is work, and it needs to be done but I also forgot to include a very obvious thing we all have to do, every day. I forgot to include that we spent about 8 - 10 hours a week doing the paper work, or computer updating, or talking to professors and students, or what have you. The non productive part of our job. But it is necessary, and we should get paid for it. Wim _____________________________ David M.
