I do agree that Steinway got the lions share of representation however.

I thought the exhibit was OK. Not great, but I guess to the average visitor, it was pretty cool. I thought the film was the best part. I got lots of cool stuff in the bookshop on pianos that I hadn't seen before (there was a companion book to the exhibit). >> Just a quick note to say that in late May, Ric Moody and I were at the Shrine to Music Museum in Vermillion SD--and there is a beautiful 9 foot straight strung Chickering with a Brown Action on display next to a similar S&S grand, both of them from 1867, both 88-note pianos. But I'm still envious of all who got to see the Smithsonian instruments! Stan Ryberg Barrington IL
