Thanks Gary... I was planning on calling them, but its great to have a name to ask for. I'd love any copies of service manuals you could provide, and I'd echo the thought about PDF format if thats possible. The funny thing is that the Philharmonic has two of these.. a large and small one. The small one is used for touring and is oddly enough tuned to 440. The other one is tuned to 442 which is standard pitch here. And the orchestra is really adamant about using 442. I checked it for the first time a few days back as the orchestra dug it out of its hiding place to take up to a short trip gig a couple hours drive from here and noticed its pitch after getting done with tuning the grand... Seems they've had it for years (looks like it too I might add) and no one had ever noticed it was 2 hz flat of everything else. Go figure :) Ric Ric, We're getting on in July-August. tuned 440. Very good assistance from Elianne Schiedmayer and her technical staff. Perhaps we can trade notes. I have some tech manuals I'll try to forward directly.
