Kent and all, Dave Carpenter will be demonstrating the Verituner in Reno July 11-15, 2001 and BTW the schedule and class descriptions are complete and should be up on the website within the week. Expect an email from the Home Office and the Convention Booklets in your hands in about 2 to 3 weeks. Many names I see on this list will be instructing. Reno is going to be fantastic! 200 classes, 366 hours of instruction, great instructors! All new voicing tutoring as well as tuning tutoring.
