The following is a list of articles by or about Del Fandrich appearing in the PTG Journals 1979 - 1999. This list was compiled by searching the 20 Years of the Piano Technicians Journal CD. I don't guarantee that this list is comprehensive. I haven't checked my paper copies of 2000 & 2001 Journals to see if there are any other articles. I will do this when I have time. I also have this info on a Word file. If anyone would like a copy then please e-mail me directly and I will attempt to send it to you.
