Clyde, Dale and all,

I missed this post when it came through, as I was out of Sydney doing 
a country region service.

Clyde,

Only two of our 225 pianos (4 & 5) and one Steinway D have received 
I-rib soundboards to date. While we're getting positive feedback from 
various pianists and technicians, unfortunately, the only recording 
of an I-rib piano to date is the recording of the Sydney 
Conservatorium launch for piano 5 (Aug 5, 04). This concert was held 
in one of the two smaller 120 seat auditoriums at the newly 
refurbished Conservatorium, which have a rather small-room acoustic, 
and not particularly suited to larger-piano tone. The Con's larger 
250 seat Music Workshop has a very good acoustic. This room was used 
for the Rachmaninoff Lilacs recording with Scott Davie in 1992 (links 
to Mp3 samples taken from this recording can be found at 
http://overspianos.com.au/samp.html ). For those who might wish to 
purchase a copy of this CD, there is a link to the appropriate 
Buywell webpage underneath the Mp3 sample links.

Some of you already will have heard this 2002 Scott Davie recording 
of Rachmaninoff piano works. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation 
will be recording a new CD (for future commercial release) with Scott 
using our piano no. 5 from the Sydney Con, Feb 14 -18. This recording 
will include Mossorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. Once the 
recording has been mastered, I'll get a couple of samples up on the 
website.

In the meantime, I'll have a listen to the launch concert for piano 
no. 5 to see if I think its good enough to convert to Mp3 as an 
interim sample of an I-rib board.
