I saw a class listed for Rochester, this year. Two periods, Herb Lindhal is a good instructor. To prepare yourself, so you know what questions to ask, read Arthur Reblitz book, Player Piano, Service & Repair. John M.

I probably get 5 or 6 calls a year asking if I can repair the player mechanism on their piano and I'm afraid to touch the things for fear I'll break them. It would be great to see a class that just covered some of the more basic repairs you would most likely encounter, and some instruction on how to safely remove the darn things in order to tune them more easily. Has such a class ever been scheduled in the past? Or is there one in the works for the future, at any of the upcoming regional conventions, perhaps? Or is there a book available on the subject? I'm not interested in becoming the "go to" guy on players in my area, but I would like to know something about the more common repairs I might encounter.
