. . . of Perri Knize's "Grand Obsession". I'm about 5/7 of the way through it. I'm enjoying it very much, even though I'm a bit ambivalent about the author herself - she seems to be one of those vinyl nuts, as well as an obsessive-compulsive about her piano. :-)
Very interesting information however about all the factors which can influence the sound of a piano, as well as the frustration of not being able to keep the instrument's sound at a certain level of beauty, once you attain that "ideal" quality. It makes me think of the old proverb about how beauty cannot be captured and held. It also made me think about the parallels to our sound reproduction equipment - which seems to sound different on different days! I've always chalked that phenomenon up mostly to psychology (speaking for myself anyway), but I'm sure there are physical factors too - just not as many as with pianos. :-)
