This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi all, =20 After having been unsubscribed for some time, I thought it might be good to get back on this list and see what's happening. I also wanted to write and let everyone know that Kawai's technical support staff has changed a bit. =20 I am in a new job at Kawai that is more aimed at training and education. Instead of being in technical support, I am now in charge of all technically oriented training activities for Kawai. This includes PTG activities, plus our in-house training program, and dealer training. =20 Nick Gravagne is now in charge of technical support for Kawai America, so he is the one to call if you need any service problems handled. Nick has been working for us since last October, and over the past couple of weeks he has already been getting settled into his new job as tech support manager. =20 Kawai will be expanding all of our training activities over the next year, including more frequent intensive seminars here at Kawai America. The next one is planned for October, although this one is already filled. =20 =20 Our training seminar (called the Shigeru Kawai Technical Academy) is an intensive one week high-end grand piano regulation and voicing session, in which each participant regulates, tunes and voices a 6' or larger grand (hopefully Shigeru Kawai grands, but we will not always have enough of these so will use Kawai RX-3s a lot) under the tutelage of one of Kawai's Japanese concert technicians. =20 Technicians would need to arrange their own transportation, but Kawai takes care of the hotel and meals during the week seminar. If any of you would like to be on the waiting list for our seminar, please write to me. =20 For my new job I will also be traveling more than in the past, mainly visiting dealers and presenting local PTG meeting programs, when possible. As part of these dealer visits I will be starting a campaign of teaching dealers and dealer technicians the importance of new piano preparation, and direct training of store technicians on efficient prep techniques. If you have any requests along the lines of a PTG chapter meeting, let me know. =20 I look forward to seeing what's going on with CAUT these days! =20 Don Mannino RPT, Director Kawai Piano Technical Education www.kawaius.com dmannino@kawaius.com=20 =20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
