Woodchester piano seminar - Monday 13 November 2000


The Woodchester Piano Company is planning to offer independent tuners a 
unique opportunity to augment their income and broaden their customer 
base by marketing the Technics Module SM-ZS30.  This system is designed 
to be fitted to a suitable standard upright piano, and can then be 
played through headphones, or through a home stereo system or through 
computer speakers.

The unit has six authentic voices, Grand Piano, Upright Piano, Electric 
Piano, Harpsichord, Church Organ and Strings, superbly sampled from the 
finest instruments available.  All the voices are mixable and easily 
accessible at the touch of a button. Volume, Reverberation, Pitch and 
Sustain can be easily adjusted to suit all requirements.  Both the tempo 
and the volume can be adjusted by way of a built-in metronome.

Another feature of the unit is the easy-to-use 4,500 note-sequencer for 
recording performances, which can be played back at variable tempos as a 
learning aid.  The module is also fitted with two headphone sockets for 
teacher/pupil or duet playing, and comes complete with full MIDI 
specification for interfacing with the home computer for sequencer, 
notation and learning programmes.

To launch this exciting opportunity, the piano company, in conjunction 
with the Royal National College for the Blind, Hereford, is organising a 
one-day seminar on Monday 13 November 2000.  This will take place at the 
College and will cover all aspects of fitting, demonstrating and 
marketing the module.  Woodchester staff will be on hand to answer 
questions and discuss ways of ensuring a successful venture. Further 
information can be obtained from John Beckingham at the Woodchester 
Piano Company on 01453 872871.

The charge for attendance at the seminar is £10.00 per delegate, which 
will cover the cost of the seminar, including morning coffee, a 
two-course lunch, tea during the afternoon and an optional tour of the 
College. The seminar will run from 10.30 am until 4.30 pm, although 
coffee will be available from 10.00 am. If you wish to book a place, 
please complete the attached form and return it with a cheque for 
£10.00 to Philip Kennedy at RNCB, College Road, Hereford, HR1 1EB, by 
no later than 31 October 2000.
