Joe,
   Yes.
   Dean Reyburn and I will be teaching two classes, offered consecutively
during the two Saturday morning class periods: 

Session 1:  Introduction to Reyburn CyberTuner

In this introductory class, we'll demonstrate basic RCT operations, 
such as automatic sample taking; selecting one of ten
stretch styles with one click of your mouse; "pre-listening" to the 
tuning 
with RCT's predicted beat rates; selecting the best tuning partials; 
faster and more accurate pitch raising with RCT's auto-measuring 
and dynamic overpull percentages optimized for each note; 
"automagic" chromatic both-ways NoteSwitching (no hands or feet); saving 
and organizing RCT's unlimited number of tuning files; and more.

Session 2:  Advanced RCT techniques

In this class we'll demonstrate some of RCT's advanced tools such as 
Custom Equalizer, which lets you micro-adjust the stretch of
every octave and instantly see a graph of your "tweaks"; Pianalyzer, 
RCT's 
spectrum analyzer, which measures each partial's pitch,  inharmonicity, 
sustain, and volume; using RCT's graphs and spreadsheets to analyze a 
piano's scale design and create an optimized tuning; choosing one of 
RCT's 57
stored historical temperaments or creating and saving an unlimited number 
of 
your  own; using RCT to measure and score the RPT exam faster than ever; 
and more.

   Dean and I will also be teaching RCT tuning tutoring classes, with a 
max of 
three persons per class. In these classes, everyone will be given their 
own computer 
running RCT on which they'll record samples, calculate a tuning, and tune 
some 
notes. We'll also practice file management and take some reading with 
Pianalyzer
to measure relative volume of one note's partials 1-8, 10, and 12, and 
more.
   To sign up for RCT tuning tutoring, contact PTG HO via email at
<ptg@ptg.org> or by phone at 816-531-0070.

  We'll also have a booth at the exhibit hall with a piano and many 
different computers 
running RCT. Please stop by and give RCT a test drive anytime. Be aware 
that the 
exhibit hall gets crowded and noisy between classes, so if you're 
interested in spending 
 quality time with RCT, I suggest you skip a class (not ours!) and hang 
out at our booth 
during a regular class period.
