CAUT FORUM Friday 4th Period, PTG Technical Institute in  Kansas City July 
15, 2011
 

All who are interested in college and university piano service may attend  
the CAUT Forum 4th period Friday. Originally scheduled to look only at a  
proposed survey of piano service in higher education, it will now include:
 

1. A discussion of the fine old CAUT listserve, the new CAUT  discussion 
groups and the CAUT microsite with Ron Berry. Some of  you will attend the 
Pianotech list discussion 3rd period Friday, but many of us  will not be able 
to attend that class (I will be attending Allen Wright's  presentation on the 
Steinway London Factory). Ron will give us the latest on the  survival of 
the CAUT listserve, the new my.ptg discussion groups, the resources  for CAUT 
at the new site, and the new PTG CAUT microsite (the site long  maintained 
by Scott Thile for the CAUT Committee has now been down for over a  half a 
year, and the new site has just begun construction, go take a look so you  
can share your own ideas for it with the CAUT Committee -

2. A new major repair and rebuilding study and worksheet  tool from Keith 
Kopp and Jim Busby at BYU. Based on a the CAUT  Guidelines as well as a 
survey of college piano technicians, they have created a  very useful tool to 
help a university technician make the case to their  administrator.

 
3. A report on a proposed comprehensive survey of piano service  in higher 
education. The only surveys on piano service in higher  education have been 
in-house, of PTG members who report their college  affiliations. The 2005 
PTG Survey reported approximately 750 respondents  representing approximately 
900 schools, in a higher education market of 2200  schools. The CAUT Survey 
Subcommittee will report on the goals of a  comprehensive survey of piano 
service in higher education and seek your input. 

 

The CAUT Committee and the PTG seeks your participation and input in order  
to do its best. I look forward to your participation!

 
Keep in mind that any afternoon home office/PTG Museum tour which provided  
van-pools will not return in time for the CAUT Forum.


 
I'm cross-posting this to the pianotech list, and to the new discussion  
lists as well.

 
See you there!
