He has thus far presented mini-seminars (one hour) on tuning, regulating, field repairs and rebuilding, and our students have ALWAYS come away buzzing about what they've learned. Will any of them go in this direction? Who knows? But we've at least exposed them to the idea, and I'm rather proud of that. Stan Ryberg Barrington IL >> How many college and university techs have an opportunity to present a program of any kind to the piano students, to familiarize them with what's behind the fall board? What Stan does at his college should be required at all music departments. Willem
