Sticksville Indiana)
Hello Hello
Blthner pianos: Best person to talk to is Bill Kasimoff. He is
in the PTG. I won't print is number and address here except to
say it is in the "book". The PTG Directory that is.
The only Blthner I have ever tuned had extra strings on little
posts up in the treble. Also the action was very different. I
talked to Kasimoff at a PTG convention in Dallas and he has the
specs. for that type of Blthner action, if that is what you
have. I think there is an article in an old PTG journal too.
History: There is a PTG member, in Chicago I think, I don't
recall his name. He collects all kinds of old PTG stuff. If I
remember his name I'l mention it. Most likely one of you already
know who I am talking about.
=================================================================
Well I have my very own SAT II. I use it every day and I can
almost remember how it works without checking the manual. I am
very pleased with it and it has been a real help.
One problem I encountered had to do with static electrical charge
building up in me and when I touched it it would shut off. I
called Inventronic and got all the dope on that. I touch the
plate now before I touch the SAT. Have any of you had that sort
of problem??
The other question I had was about storing tunings. Do any of
you store tunings on your PC? What sort of software do you need?
Later,
-Phil
