A 100 years old Steinway A with new Wurzen felt hammers voiced by =
Andr=E9 turns out to be a prodigious instrument.

      My friend, here we come back to an old discussion : old versus =
new.
      Again I ask you (I askew)... which Steinway do you like better... =
a gorgeous /old/ Steinway or a gorgeous /new/ Steinway?




      Now, be honest, don't lie to me, otherwise I'll tell them Nipons =
and they will surely get da truth out of you this next November.

  In that case, you did not answer my question. you evade the truth, you =

  this is a pic of the seminar group in Bruxelles.

  It was a real nice experience. I never did a 2 day seminar for such a =
big group (=B1 30 people).
  The piano was a Steinway A, belonging to our good friend St=E9phane =
Collin.
  In our work place, he installed the new shanks and the new wippens, =
and back home, he worked like 5 dogs to glue the new hammers and get the =
instrument ready for the seminar.
  The group consisted mainly of belgians, (French speaking and Flemish =
speaking) a Romanian, a Greek from Athens, and an Italian from Udine =
(Trieste).
  The next time, I hope there will be at least one American!

  friendly greetings
