[CAUT] Too tall!!??

[James Schmitt]

Paul-  As much as love to tune strictly by ear,  I end up wiht the best matching for two pianos with my ETD with a final two piano check after.  (Subject two) A nice piece of carpet padded as needed got me past this one once. the problem by be in the pedal height and leg from bench both of which can be addessed with a carpet or pad.  If it's not too big the tonal change may not be a problem.  The pianist can choose.

  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
