George Winston is pleasant to work with. The 5 page instructions to the tuner seem overwhelming until you read them. He just wants a tuned, regulated piano. He will explain his system for marking unisons he wants touched. Most of his pieces end with a very slow pedal release, so check for late and oinking dampers. A friend of mine knows Malcolm rather well. He will probably want to touch up the regulation on the fortepiano to suit his needs. He has produced a DVD on fortepiano regulation. I would suggest contacting him in advance and getting a copy.

Hey y'all, We have the opportunity of having some great artists perform in our Lied Center for Performing Arts this upcoming season. I would love to hear your inputs on these performers of certain traits, workablity,demands, etc with these folks to make the piano the way they like it. It's a nice list and I look forward to working with them.. (I think) what do I watch out for?? Yo Yo Ma, George Winston, Winton Marsalis, The Van Cliburn comp winner, Malcolm Bilson (on forte-piano) The rest I can handle :>) Thanks in advance!! Best, Paul T.
