Happy Monday All, Well, while we're still assessing the damage done by vandals to nine of our pianos last week and getting the ball rolling toward all the repairs( Boy, Mapes is going to LOVE hearing from me!!), we are turning our attention toward,hopefully, not letting it happen again. My Chair and Dean asked me to get a feel, via this group ,what other schools are doing or have done that has been successful towards protecting instruments at your schools. They are going to investigate some sort of keyless entry system similar to what is found in a lot of hotels these days. I personally don't know about this one, High tech generally is high priced, but this is an option they want to explore. In any event, I would appriciate hearing from all you CAUT's with your thoughts and ideas about this and what has worked or not worked at your institutions. I realize some of this may have been talked about before( and I'm going to check out the archives) so it may not be appropriate for a pianotech discussion. If so, feel free to contact me direct. Thanks Paul Dempsey Marshall University wippen@aol.com
