Dear Karl,
Seasons’ Greetings! I thought I’d send you this note of thanks for your excellent care of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s Steinway pianos. I especially appreciate the extra time you have often put in at the special request of our artists, usually at very short notice. It is such a comforting feeling to know that the VSO pianos are always tuned with your expertise.
I have also noticed considerable positive reaction to your mechanics work on the Hamburg Steinway. I know it is a very difficult instrument to “fix”.
I wish you and your family a very joyous holidays, and a very happy New Year!
Gratefully,
Jeremy Berkman
Stage Manager ~Vancouver Symphony Orchestra
