That Iron String is available on Amazon.
Jack Kohl is a pianist/author from Long Island. His book, “That Iron String” explores the nightmarish realities of the life of aspiring concert pianists in American in the 21st century. While the book is part of a trilogy and is fictional, it highlights the plight facing so many talented, young pianists today.
Robert Estrin and Jack Kohl are both pianists from Long Island. So, even though they just met recently, there is a natural camaraderie being fellow pianists from the same area. They provide insights for pianists at a time when there are far more accomplished artists than there are possible careers available. They discuss how people like themselves find creative solutions to remaining relevant having highly accomplished 19th century skills in the modern world.
