[CAUT] All day with Wally Brooks

[Fred Sturm]

  The NM chapter would like to invite you to an all day seminar with  
Wally Brooks, to be held on Saturday, May 17 at the University of NM,  
Albuquerque, NM.

All About Hammers
Take a microscopic tour into the depths of a piano hammer.  Learn  
about the making of felt and the process of manufacturing hammers  
including our new Natural Felt.  We will discuss how to control weight  
and touch through hammer selection and the information needed for  
boring hammers.  You will also learn grand and upright hammer hanging  
on old and new shanks and flanges as well as using pre-hung hammers.

Replacing Grand Action Parts – for fun, profit & weight control
What is important when changing parts?  Important measurements to  
consider and their effects on fit regulation and touch.  Backcheck  
installation, using sample kits and a simple system for controlling  
touch weight.

Tone Building
A thorough discussion and demonstration of the process of putting a  
new set of hammers into their optimum working state and the art of  
listening to tone.

For further information, please contact me off list.
