Hi CAUT!

I may have asked this before, so sorry, but who sells forte-piano parts? 
Malcolm Bilson is coming to UNL this fall, and I feel I should have some 
supplies, parts, etc.  We've really been lucky for the past 2 years since 
Robert Murphy paid a call and got this old beast up to snuff.  I really 
don't want to tell him that there's nothing I can do if something breaks! 
Should I have a whole set of everything?  I really don't have the budget, 
and nobody really plays it, so...How does one deal with this for a one 
time show, plus two weeks of instruction for students.  Apparantly, this s 
a big thing for the director of the Lied Center next door, who's budget 
gives $4,000 for the entire year of upkeep of their Steinway D, 2 B's and 
a Walter upright....many tunings and concerts..... The D is at The Piano 
People for a 75% rebuld....no soundboard, sadly due to budget crunches.., 
but nicely done, I hope by them....including new Kluge keys.  (It was 
really a mess when it left!!)

Advise is warmly welcome!!

Paul
