it was a busy day for class excursions, after the synagogue trip in freud's class, we took a trip to the house of a concert pianist who not only plays, but collects, (about 35-40 grand and concert grand pianos) restores, and builds pianos as well. he spent the first 15 minutes giving a brief overview of the piano he was working on for a concert he was playhing in april, but also took us to two rooms, on filled with grand and the other filled with concert grand pianos, about 10 in each room. he also has garage with about 15 unfinished pianos that he will be working on this year. he told us a brief history on each piano and the difference of each by playing and letting us listen to the sounds that are porduced in each one. it was really cool seeing the insides and the make up of these instruments
