I have 37 that never need tuning  I would love one that does though! It must be great to have it back in perfect tune, and I can appreciate the wait for it to happen. It takes me an hour to tune my 66 string dulcimer in changeable weather. |

On Sunday, I drive to the ferry and leave for the Summer Piano Academy at the University of Victoria. 2 weeks of pianistic bliss - repertoire classes, technique classes, private lessons, a class that compares how different artists interpret the music, concerts and more. Whoo hoo! I can't wait!

I just wrapped up the first satisfying practice session in over a month...nothing like a fresh tuned Steinway for motivation. |

I think I've memorized the Liszt sonata.. maybe except for 7 very annoying bars. But YAY!!! I guess 3 weeks of work paid off..

Damon you mean the fugue? No that wasn't as bad to learn as I thought. But there's a passage with crazy leaps, comes back at the recap in a different key .. Argh! At least I got the first one clean, but the second..... I sound like I'm playing ligeti!

Angelina- Yes, I was talking about the fugue. I suppose you are talking about the spot right before the presto near the end. I didn't think it would have been harder than the first one, but I never made it past the fugue, so what do I know?  |

I got my computer back well ahead of schedule, and all seems well. I now have a functioning ODD. Very happy with my experience at this Apple Store. |

Good deal! There's nothing more frustrating than being computerless.  (By the way, I have no idea what ODD means. Sounds like a disorder of some kind!) |

Yup...it's one of those things that you don't use a whole lot, but you miss it when it is broken. |
