Special greetings right back at ya, Bernhard.  The Fazioli suite was  
on my floor (the 36th) at the Hyatt; on Saturday, after my 6-hour  
marathon of teaching, I followed an impulse to turn right into the  
Fazioli suite rather than left into my room, and what I found was  
magnificent: a 6'4" piano, which I had played and enjoyed on  
Thursday, was now luminously beautiful; I played a little, and  
immediately asked some guy there who had tuned it; he pointed to you,  
hunched over a computer with Rick Baldassin in the corner of the  
room. I played some more; this piano was tuned in a manner extremely  
close to my protocol and stretch; it sounded, to me, like a million  
bucks. My only quibble---and a teeny one, at that---was the slight  
imperfections in the unisons, but the tuning was awesome. Then, as is  
my wont, I expressed my satisfaction to you rather joyfully and  
forcefully---hope I didn't freak you out with my enthusiasm, brother.
That was one great piano tuning, Mr. Stopper. Thank you.
