Amen!! And if their practice rooms ARE filled with them, may someone else
tune them. I would personally rather starve to death.
    Hey, it's my two cents, I paid for it!

  List:
  I have my AOL account set up to send me news about pianos, piano
  manufacturers, musicians and music news in general.  If I copy the link to
  the List, it works for me but I guess that is because I have AOL and
  apparently it will work only for AOL members.  I thought this story was
  interesting, so I went to the trouble of copying it.

  My personal comment is that the Steinway Grands are wonderful instruments
but
  if my opinion were asked about which verticals might be best suited for
  institutional use, it would be Kawai far and above any other make.  I can
  just see the poor tech who has to tune the new Steinway verticals cussing
  under his breath as he enters the practice room.

  Duquesne University Announces Intent to Become an `All Steinway School' At
  Warhol Museum Signing Ceremony on Monday, Dec. 4


  PITTSBURGH, Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Becoming one of only 19 prestigious
"All
  Steinway Schools" in the country, the Mary Pappert School of Music at
  Duquesne University, Trombino Music Centers and Steinway & Sons will sign
an
  agreement of intent as part of a ceremony to be held at The Andy Warhol
  Museum on Monday, Dec. 4, at 6 p.m.  Henry Steinway, a fourth-generation
  descendant of company founder Heinrich Engelhard Steinway, will give a
  presentation at 7 p.m. with a reception following.

  The announcement and ceremony are part of a 10-day celebration of the
300th
  anniversary of the piano by Trombino Music Centers, the exclusive Steinway
  representative for Western Pennsylvania, that facilitated the arrangement
  with Duquesne University.  This is the first time that Henry Steinway has
  participated in a music school's official designation as an "All Steinway
  School."

  As part of the agreement that includes the addition of 66 new Steinway
  pianos, Duquesne University's Mary Pappert School of Music will begin a
fund-
  raising campaign in order to have the pianos available by the next
academic
  year.

  "By allowing a student of the Mary Pappert School of Music to practice and
  perform on a Steinway, we are better helping that student on their road to
  becoming a professional musician," said Dr. Edward Kocher, the new dean of
  music at Duquesne University who will participate in Monday's ceremony.
  Steinway & Sons, founded in 1853, produces less than one percent of the
  pianos made worldwide, yet 98 percent of musicians on the concert stage
  choose to play Steinways exclusively because of their touch and tone,
  according to Trombino Music Centers.  Steinway pianos can range anywhere
in
  price from $15,000-$80,000 depending on their size.
