Jack, Vince, and others,
I received this fax from Baylor University, following a call from head of
their piano faculty. They are hoping to hire a new technician. Here's the
copy faxed to me:

I know these few extra facts: they have good humidity control, and most (if
not all) of their pianos in practice rooms are new Kawais. I hope this
helps.
