Who's interested?

Hi fingers,

Count us in! Is this specific to PW only? Also, hopefully it will be after the last day of school.

I'm interested but am travelling elsewhere the first half of the month. When in June?

Count me in but please announce the date ASAP because there are a few dates when I may not be available and then I can give up my spot.

I'll go.

I'll be in NY from Friday June 15th thru Friday June 22.

I could go on either the 21st or 22nd.

I'll be in New York June 20-22; I might be interested.

The 22nd would best for the two of us

Hey, fingers! Count me in, unless I walk under the plate press at M&H on Wednesday. Been there, done that, ready to do it again!

Fingers--count me in and possibly 2 more. Lee

Frank, I take that means youre in. Looking forward to meeting you.

fingers, I forgot to mention that there will be 4 of us!

Hi all,

I'll check the availability of those dates and report back ASAP.
Thanks,
fingers

Hello everyone,

I would also love to go, it would be two of us.

Peggy (Pegg)

Thanks fingers,

Can you get some details for us too?

What time they start the tour
How long it typically lasts
Are cameras/pictures allowed?

There would probably be two of us, perhaps three.

Spoke with Steinway...

We can do the tour on Tuesday June 19th.

Details:

Time: 9 AM
Length: 2-3 hours
Cameras permitted BUT certain restrictions apply
No video please

I will tell you that the factory tour is something very special. At least it was for me.

Who's in?

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.

I am in, with one friend.

We both will be there.

Do I have to do anyting else to sign up?

I'm pretty sure children are not permitted. You're out on the active floor in the midst of sanding, etc.; it's not the kind of tour where you walk down a hall and look through windows (it's almost 150 years old!).

Not only would a babe-in-arms breathe dust, but there are lots of stairs which can get slippery from sawdust. You'll need both hands for safety. Regardless of permissions, I'd recommend not bringing the baby.

--Cy--

I will definitely be there (one person).
Thank you!!!

Fingers, I'm still in. CY-The factory is very clean and there is no saw dust or debis around however they want everyone wearing eye protection and they give out safety glasses. If a baby is held and can wear them perhaps its OK. Frank- They do not allow pictures because it disturbs the workers. Fingers said it starts at 9.

I would be interested in attending. Sounds very interesting.

Thanks!

Best Regards,
Nick

fingers, June 19 (Tuesday) is perfect. As mentioned earlier, all 4 of us will be coming. Thanks!

Hmmm... maybe my mother can look after the baby if she is in town then. I'll see when she flies in. Otherwise I can't go.

As a parent and having taken the tour before, I personally believe that it is a wise policy.
