I've had the same complaint.  One solution is to paint a 3/4" sheet of 
plywood the same color as the stage or black and place it under the bench 
and pedals.  Another is to take the legs off a regular black bench and put 
them on an artist bench, it will give them another inch or so - this seems 
to be the best option around here.

Hi all. 

this is a new one for me.  The Liszt Fest has started here at UNL through 
Saturday.  I just got a message from the stage manager. The pianists say 
the piano is too tall! It's on a piano truck.  What would I have them 
do....saw off a 1/2" of the legs? (LOL)   I'm thinking a half inch base 
under the lyre and bench (although it's adjustable) and paint them black. 

Also, on another note; How do you all like to tune two pianos together? 
One venue has a Baldwin D and Steinway D together, the other venue has a 
Steinway D and B to be tuned together on Friday (UGH!) I've done my usual 
for the 2 9'-ers but; Any tips on the 9' and 7' together would be great 
help.  I've never been happy with those two pianos together, but that's my 
only choice. 

Thanks 
Paul
