Dennis Hanson admits he might be a little crazy to have taken the job of both CFO and GC of Steinway Musical Instruments Inc., the Massachusetts-based makers of what many consider the world's finest pianos. But he be- lieves his craziness is good for his client.

“When you are negotiating business deals, it's a tremendous advan-

tage,” Hanson says. “I either actually know what's going on or can bluff my way through it.”
