I heard a story from a pianist recently about Christian Zimmermann who apparently regulates his own pianos for concerts. The story is that he regulates the una corda so that it has 4 distinct positions that produce four unique tones. Has anyone worked with him to know what that's all about. An interesting side story about him (if true) is that he apparently used to travel with his own two S&S D's. They were evidently on their way to NY when 9/11 happened. The story is that the pianos were traveling with some type of chemical that triggered some sort of bomb alert and the pianos were subsequently hacked apart in an attempt to find the material. Now he travels with his own action which he fits to each piano that he plays. David Love davidlovepianos@comcast.net
