Steinway seminar

Wim, Paul:

I missed Bill Garlick (though took in whatever I could get from at 
conventions in the 80's).  But I attended the introductory seminar with Scott 
Jones in '91, shortly before the program was revamped somewhat.  Just 
attended the tuning/voicing week last fall taught by Eric Shandall, and I 
must say that Eric is a very sharp instructor, and well worth the cost of the 
flight and hotel.  A most extraordinary experience.
