Subject: Rappaport Saturday Workshop
The Dallas Chapter is pleased to present Priscilla Rappaport in a Saturday
session this coming December 8th in Garland, Texas.
Priscilla and husband Joel have been full-service piano technicians since
1980. Their training includes work in several European factories. For
thirteen years, they prepared pianos for the Van Cliburn Competion in Ft.
Worth, and since 1989 have been providing concert prep and tuning for the
Dallas Symphony. They have taught at national PTG conventions, and
currently
reside in Round Rock, Texas where they have a complete restoration shop. We
are happy to have Pris spend the day with us as our guest technical speaker.
Morning Session: Drill it and Fill it - a hands-on, shop-setting class
presenting the proper way to repair a stripped screw hole, and how to 'move'
a misplaced screw hole in a lid, action rail, pinblock, etc. Topics will
include... understanding woods, selecting and making dowelling plugs,
dowelling techniques, pinblock drilling for good pin torque. Applicable for
both the field and shop technician. We will have three bench drill presses
to practice drilling and dowelling, etc.
Lunch Break (included with class)
Afternoon Session: Preparing the Performance Piano - In the Concert Hall
and in the Field. In a change of pace from shop work we'll hear and see
Priscilla's theory and practice of regulation, voicing, tuning, hammer
selection, and related topics.
