About 240 students either are piano majors or are enrolled in piano classes as an elective, Winerock said.
Thompson said replacing any of the upright pianos, numbering more than 100, would cost about $5,000 each; between $30,000 and $55,000 is needed to replace any of the approximately 24 bach grand pianos, replacing the two concert grand pianos would cost $90,000 each.
Most of the pianos are in the practice rooms on the fifth floor of the library. You can schedule a time they can practice, and the upper level students get
Michael Jones said the best pianos were reserved for piano majors.
"Someone like me, majoring in music education, has to use the others," he said. "The baby needs to be fed." They seem to be kept up a lot more."
Jones said some of the older ones were too high to play on unless taller benches were available. The department has few of those
Laura Goehner, Aitchison graduate student, said one of the main parts of her research was to develop the department had only a piano tuner. A piano technician is needed to tune the instruments.
Vocing a piano is making sure all the notes have the same tone or timbre, and regulating is making sure all the notes have the same amount of touch resistance.
"If we're in the school, and we're paying tuition, we should have adequate equipment," she said. "I think that when you get up to a high level of performance, you can use a performance piano."
Thompson said voicing and regulating might cost $500 for each patient with a more older instruments, which are in serious disrepair, might cost more.
"Most of the pianos upstairs are
physically not in good enough condition to warrant regulating," he said.
Tom Eversole, co-owner of Eversole and Craigg钢琴 Shop, 19th street and Haskell Avenue, said depending on the environment and piano's use, it should be voiced and regulated once a year. An instructor with moderate to heavy use should last from 20 to 30 years.

junior, said some of the uprights were in tune but none of the grands in the practicing rooms were.
"It is hard to adjust when you get to practice in the performance hall," she said. "You get to use the concert grants very little, maybe once before a recital or master class."
She said it sounded different in a performance hall with a different, better instrument.
"But I just say use what you've got. I don't have a grand at home, so this works fine for me," Beal said.
Charles Sharpe, Wichita junior, practices for a music class on an old upright piano in a Murphy Hall practice room. The majority of upright pianos in Murphy Hall need tuning and are damaged from overuse.
Yuppie bus will begin next month
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — City officials have come up with a way to lure yuppies out of their Porches and into the upscale seaside cayes, seats, wine and bars.
The 10-mile service from downtown to Century City is scheduled to begin next month.
City Councilman Zev Yaroslavsky, who dreamed up the deluxe bus, hopes it will ease freeway layups by attracting lawyers and other professionals traveling downtown catching up on business than on shifting geors.
"What lawyers sell is their time," said Susan G. Schauer, Century City law firm. "You can be an hour or an hour of time can be spent working rather than doodling."
For $5.10 each way, the 18-bus-
er shuttle will provide cellular
phones, televisions, video cassette
recorders and fascimil machines.
