Thank you for your note. I am aware of the contents of the book. I had it at 
one time, but somewhere along the way it disappeared. (Maybe I gave it tot he 
chapter library.) But I think a reference book like this could be very useful 
for my class, for the very reason you explained, as a companion source. My 
outline includes a description of each part of the piano, it's material, use, and 
function. I think it would be very helpful if the students had a picture of 
each part, and where it belongs in the piano. That way, when they call their 
piano tuner sometime in the future, they can explain exactly which part they 
think isn't working right. (at least that is the goal). 

The other reference book I am going to use is Larry Fine's Piano Book. Again, 
not so much as a text book, but as a reference book, when it comes time in my 
curriculum for the buying a new and/or used piano. 

I don't what other book is available on the market that could be used as a 
text book per se. Do you?

Wim
