Kenny, I'm curious: If the piano is genuinely that bad, what's your teacher's excuse for not having it regulated & voiced? I have to say, if I was paying for the privilege, I would get tired of this pretty quickly - especially if I was expected to perform on it. |

HOLY CARP!!!

I have to be careful what I say in case this gets back to him. I have talked about it with him and it is a delicate subject. He and his wife are both important pianists. They both teach to a full load of students This D gets constant hard use. Maintaining any piano is expensive. I'd imagine to keep this one up would be VERY expensive. He also has a certain attitude towards piano technicians. He says many of them think of themselves as Divas. They say, "You need this. You need that. . .I'm not going to adjust this unless you pay my to adjust that also" If you let them the technicians will rob you blind, he says. He and I had the same tech for years. No longer. I told my teacher I give the tech a blank check to optimize the piano. I have made a point of saying this MANY times hoping he'll get the hint. Also, I suspect part of piano teaching is to teach pupils to get the most out of every piano they encounter. Don't complain about the piano must be an unspoken mantra. Also I am a lowly student. He is very high on the musical food chain. How dare *I* complain, I think to myself. There is some of that. |
