We landed on our feet: NYU and all my customers are calling. Olcika is back with Ofer Tchernikovski's wonderful birdsong lab where she will continue her research (neuroscience: how the Australian zebra finch learns to sing) so rudely interrupted by TEPCO. We are back in our old apartment. It's like Japan was a lovely dream with great taste sensations. The Underwater Piano Shop is in its old Ridge St. site again.
We have lots of good pianos for sale: Steinway S 5'1 which is the 8th wonder of the world because it sounds just like a 6' piano; Howard Kawai parlor grand ($5,750 all proceeds to Send A Piana To Havana); several cheap uprights, Steinway A (coming soon). Still in Japan: nicely restored 1883 Steinway ebony upright (Japan ¥1,000,000), Melodigrand miniature 67-note upright (¥90,000), Chickering 1940s console (visit it and all the lovely women who work at Seibu Piano Co. http://www.seibupiano.com/, ask them the price). And the world's oldest Steinway at http://www.fazioli.co.jp/gallery/steinway).
All piano info will be updated soon at www.tunerben.com
