How about doing a before and after recording? Good recording equipment is not as hard to come by as it used to be. How about doing before and after Pianalizer readings on Reburn Cybertuner?

Hi Mark. I think your effort is a fine thing. I arrange seminars and similar events from time to time myself and the little it costs to be a part always pays back 10 fold in knowledge gained ... along with the chance to see some of my friends and colleagues. And, FWIW, I've had the chance to watch a Wapin installation up close and personal. I think it will leave you with a few new questions along with answering many of the ones you had to begin with. I'd advise spending a good amount of time before tear down listening closely to the sound of the instrument. Discuss it back and forth... pick the sound apart and get it really clearly in your minds. It takes a couple days at best to do the job and get the thing up and running again. I encourage anyone who can go to do so. And I'd like to see more of this kind of engagement by the technical community. Cheers RicB FYI... 1.) The "they" you refer to as a "commercial enterprise" are actually just "lowly technicians" like us. 2.) The "they" that is financing this event, whether it breaks even, or loses money (travel, accomodation, remuneration, etc.), is "me" personally, not Chevy, nor the instruments owners, or even the institution I work for. Just "me." (not to mention the effort of several gracious volunteers...and sorry, I gave out all the candy bars on Halloween ) 3.) The "US" I'm doing it for, already understand and appreciate the personal risk and effort involved, as well as the investment versus returns of professional skills development. Think about it, for roughly the cost of a tuning, learn a new skill! And of course, all the above info was readily available with a little research on the net, or simply by e-mailing me "personally." Nonetheless, if you have further Q"s I would be glad to try answer mailto:cramer at brandonu.ca just perhaps give me a day or two until l get the tasks at hand under control. Whew! ;>) Thanks Les! best regards, Mark Cramer, Brandon University
