I've been looking for a copy of this book. Do you have the publisher? Thanks, Lance Lafargue, RPT Mandeville, LA New Orleans Chapter, PTG lancelafargue@bellsouth.net -----Original Message----- From: owner-pianotech@ptg.org [mailto:owner-pianotech@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Clyde Hollinger Sent: Friday, December 01, 2000 3:07 PM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Two Piano Tuners Friends, At a book sale my daughter picked up a kid's storybook titled "Two Piano Tuners" by M. B. Goffstein, published in 1970. I will readily admit that I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to pianists, or piano technicians of that era, and I was wondering if the names the author chose for her characters were take-offs of anyone who really existed. Does anyone know of any of these real or imaginary characters? The dedication is "To my husband and our memory of Walter Hupfer." The piano tuner is Reuben Weinstock (the best piano tuner in the world), the pianists mentioned are Isaac Lipman and Walter Bernheimer, and a client down the street is Mrs. Perlman. I must say, the author really understood piano tuning, did a lot of research, or had a real tuner look over her manuscript. She was really on target. Regards, Clyde
