re: #111 Charles Johnson
I’m pretty sure they rent Steinways or Bosendorfers wherever he plays - touring with a grand piano isn’t really practical. But he’s a fanatic about setup and tuning, been known to throw major tantrums if something isn’t right!
I wouldn’t expect that he carries his own piano on tour but I’d bet he hires his own technician to tune and voice it. Most artists of that caliber probably have local technicians in the areas where they’re touring or perhaps he just has one on tour with him all the time.
