    Hi List,

      I've been invited to conduct a workshop entitled "Ten Things Every 
    Musician Should Know About Pianos." Got an outline worked up but wanted 
    to canvas fellow institutionalized technicians. What (general) points 
    do folks consider the most essential to get across in a forum such as 
    this?

    Thanks,

  1. the names of the case parts.
  2. the name and number of the keys
  3. the name of the major components of the piano, like strings, soundboard, pin block, etc. 
  4. why a piano goes out of tune
  5. where to place a piano in a room
  6. how often a piano should be voiced and regualted 
  7. the effects of temperature and humidity changes on a piano.
