    The Piano Man

    Can't find any mention to this programme elsewhere and not sure where to start a thread but here may be as good a place as any ?

    Behind the scenes with Ulrich Gerhartz, piano technician to the world's best pianists.


    I found it an extremely interesting and civilised half hour and part of the growing list of Radio 4 programmes that make one wonder why on earth it wasn't on Radio 3 instead of ( insert own personal bete noire here )

        Thank you zola! Uli used to be my piano tuner until he became a big cheese at Steinways! Always good to see him at recitals - last time, doing for Radu Lupu in Reading!
        "...the isle is full of noises,
        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          It is always a great pleasure to listen to a craftsman-enthusiast explaining his work, and to have that on the topic of my favourite instrument...what a delight!
