Thanks for these smart conversations. I appreciate the guests and questions.
I absolutely love this podcast! As a musician, and a piano technician, this podcast merged my two loves in such a fabulous way. Music talk and piano talk and it is just amazing. Please keep this going!!
This is an excellent podcast, with a roster of guests you might not always expect from Steinway & Sons!

The host is particularly good at drawing fresh insight from each guest.
