Fred and List, Hope everyone enjoyed the convention and learned a lot. Since I wasn't able to go this year, I decided to use some time (finally) to enter the data into the CAUT Guidelines thing. For those of you who have done this, I have a question. After entering everything, the techs needed came to 1.125, using the box totals on the side of the Excel worksheet. Considering the number of pianos (133), the condition of about 20 Steinway L's and a few Yamaha (most all 1970's) and our recital/performance load, I'm sure that number should be higher. I think the reason it came out this way is because in the Condition category, I put the 1970's Steinways and Yamahas in the Fair category because I feel they don't need a new soundboard yet. Or even a new pin block in most instances. However, they do need everything else, including restringing. My question is should I change all those into the poor category since that's the only place where restringing is mentioned? What are your thoughts/suggestions about this? Thanks.
