Thanks Joe, I am an associate member of the guild now that I live near enough to an active chapter to participate. My work has been more directly tuning related and putting out "fires" in the action, occasional repair/recondition work. I have the guild's book on grand regulation as well as the Reblitz book, second edition. When asked, I had my doubts that repair and regulation could be entirely separated (especially in '68 Yamaha grand), but I was curious and the responses (thank-you everyone) have been educational.
