a very special thank you to every one of you, who with such generosity, helped me summit the monumental task of procuring this fully restored 1906 Bechstein - I’ve never worked harder and similarly, have never experienced such overwhelming support in my life. Whether you saw me at a BART station, in Golden Gate park, or contributed online, your enthusiasm fueled my dedication to Art. It is a dream come true to be able to wake up in the morning, drink coffee, sit at the greatest instrument I have ever played, and make music.
