I went searching out info on it.. and came across www.bosendorfer.com and there are TWO different models that have extra keys. one with four (like Becky mentioned) and one with NINE. nine. whole. keys. wicked, huh? I spent an hour (when I'd already woken up at like noon or 1 instead of.. 10..) looking at their very intensive process of building a piano. gadzooks. if Bosies are expensive, I now know EXACTLY why. cuz those boys (and girls I'm sure) put so much blood and sweat (and maybe tears I'm sure--though that'd fuck up the humidity of the whole thing.. hee hee..) into building one. and did anybody see Tori's statement on the bosie site about it? it's great. and it comes with a handwritten version of it. I saved a copy of that cuz it's just too kickass. :D Sincerely, Cyndi S.

I'm trying to remember too if I saw her doing that the times I've seen her so far this tour. I don't seem to recall a time as *pronounced* as the one at the end of Dallas 01, but maybe I just didn't catch it. > I believe it was the 1999 tour that she used to feign > humping it when she came out--sometimes more subtly than others. She's a > queer duck, she is. She is!? Oh NOW you tell me! ;-) And then, or perhaps earlier, shaman said: > First of all, what you said about Bvsendorfer isn't quite true. I stand corrected. Funny about the Bosendorfer, Boesendorfer, Bvsendorfer thing. The same "crap I can't type a diacritical in 7 bit ascii" problem comes up in Esperanto which uses a breve and a circumflex. I don't recall what the horrible workaround is for that. I think it's add an "x" after the letter for a breve and a "^" after the letter for a circumflex. Something grim like that. (e.g. "Cxu vi parolas Esperanton?") Oops. My useless language alarm AND my nerd alert are going off simultaneously. And finally Erika & Alan said: > I believe they are on the bass end.
