Greetings,
Don't know how many others saw last night's installment of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, but if you did, wasn't it a pleasant surprise to encounter piano technological references? In the hyper-fanciful introduction to his occasional segment known as "Meanwhile" (@ 13' 57" in this particular episode), there was a tour-de-force of klavier-speak related to the design and construction of a Bosendorfer Imperial Concert Grand. I don't know about you, but it made the piano technician in me feel surprisingly visible and included. Gotta wonder how that terminology might have made its way on to the radar of one of their writers...
Enjoy!
Alan
