Hey Paul- Is that the same Benn from here in Edina, MN? I know them, and him. We used to have an older harpsichord of his. I didn't like the harpsichord, but it was an early model. I believe he is retired now but still around. ______________ On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 7:39 AM, Paul T Williams < pwilliams4 at unlnotes.unl.edu> wrote: Hi Fred, This is a Benn (Walter copy) 88"long.

Hi Paul, I wouldn't be too paranoid about it. One does want to have the strings, especially the bass. I would be surprised to have parts break, or at any rate break so I couldn't do a repair. What kind of fortepiano are we talking about? Regards, Fred Sturm University of New Mexico fssturm at unm.edu On Apr 23, 2009, at 4:06 PM, Paul T Williams wrote: 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!!)
