Paul, You might also like to send Malcolm an email introducing yourself & giving him a "heads up" and ask for any suggestions he might have. He did a quite a bit of voicing on ours and some regulation. This was my first Fortepiano ever, so he was very accomodating about showing me various things about the upkeep of it. Very nice to work with. His email (then, at least) was Malcolm Bilson mb68 at cornell.edu I'm assuming he's still at Cornell. We had him at Univ. of Houston several years ago for a dedicatory recital & masterclass using our new Maene Fortepiano. I'd tuned it to make sure it was stable before he got there and he liked it. However, he did his own tuning for his recital. Fine with me. <grin> Avery Todd, RPT University of Houston, Ret.
