Steinway will give a tour of its NY factory in June. We need to select a weekday and the tour begins 9 AM sharp. We can have a group of 20. Who's interested? Regards, fingers

Laura and I might be able to make it. I have to find out when we're choosing the pianos for the concert but I'm sure we can work around it. Is there a fee for this? Laura's husband would also be there, and maybe mine (plus baby). Thanks for arranging this, fingers. Too bad it couldn't later in the week so more out of town people could attend.

The tour is free.
The only available dates for that week were either Mon. or Tues. I chose Tues.
I'll check into potential safety issues regarding your baby. It is VERY active with machinery, tools , debris etc.
Regards,
fingers
