Hey Wim, sometimes it just takes educating folks. =20

At the start of every school year when I was on staff at a university, I =
would send out a very welcoming, upbeat memo to the staff and faculty.  =
It contained information on care of the pianos and what information I =
needed from them to schedule service for studios, classrooms and =
concerts.  I also asked the director of the school of music to put the =
subject on the faculty meeting agenda (just in case they didn't read my =
memo).  To reach the students with whatever information I wanted them to =
have, I made various posters and placed them in practice rooms, back =
stage and in the student lounge area.   Every once in a while I would =
need to squeak, but tried to be nice about it.  :-)

  Thanks for the answer Rick. I don't know if that will work here at UA. =
Hell, even our brand new B and D on the stage get treated like they are =
desks. Within a week after we received our new B two years ago, which is =
in the recital hall, also used by the music appreciation classes, one of =
our TA's scratched up the top when he put his briefcase on it, and slid =
it off at the end of the session.=20
