I don't know if this has been asked, but would anyone be willing to post Winston's 5 pages of instructions? I'd find it very interesting. My mind has been pondering this for days.

I totally agee. When I was still at the University of Houston, he came to dedicate a "new" Fortepiano" we'd had donated. He's very easy to work with. My suggestion would be to let him do his thing and ask him to help you learn more about the Fortepiano! He showed me a lot. Before that, I'd no experience at all with a Fortepiano! He usually even does his own tuning for the recital! I loved that!

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.
