[CAUT] "Steinway Technical Partner"

[Graves, Tony J.]

Ric,
    Well here are a few lines from the 1st paragraph of the letter I received with this.
"Steinway & Sons Technical Department, in conjunction with the Institutional Sales Dept.,is pleased to announce a new program to reinforce our commitment to technicians servicing our All Steinway Schools.  The purpose of the program is to establish a communication forum to help support you and the work you perform on Steinway Designed Pianos at these Institutions."
So I guess If your a tech. at an All Steinway School and they know, you're a part of this program.
I didn't know anything about it until I received the stuff in the mail and I got a certificate stating I was recognized as a "All Steinway School Technical Partner"
I guess you could contact Kent Webb for more details

Hi Tony,  sounds like a cool way of dealing with the whole issue.  Could
you fill me in with some more details of what exactly this is all
about.  First time I've heard about this.

Cheers

    List,
    Some of you probably are a part of this or heard of it, but I'd
    thought I'd through this in since the subject of Steinway Tech came
    up. About a month ago I got an unexpected package from Steinway.
    They developed a new program for technicians that service pianos at
    "All Steinway Schools". So I guess I am a "All Steinway School
    Technical Partner" I got a few goodies Certificate A "Technical
    Partner apron" The new Technical Reference guide on CD An invitation
    to a Private Reception at the National conference in CA They even
    have a dedicated email address for the technical partners A few
    other misc. things
