Thanks Joe,
I am happy that you enjoyed the tools and classes.
I was very impressed the way all the techs attended the classes. Pretty =
quiet in the exhibit hall during class time. Since we exhibitors  were =
to stay with our booths,
I had my own class time with the exhibitors picking their brains for new =
stuff. Leveled  and voiced the bass strings that Aldrich installed ( boy =
did they sound great and he must have tuned that piano 10 times [ with a =
SATll ]  he is a very quick tuner, learned a lot from him. And used =
Ballistol on the S&S action model to fix a sticking sostenuto pedal.
Just having fun

  Joe,
  Wow, I am impressed by your knowledge of that miniscule piece of =
musical trivia. Of course it still doesn't explain Stephen's switching =
back to the use of "b" in the last octave  :-)

  Oh, yes, I am very glad to have met you at your booth in San Diego. It =
was great talking with you and  looking over all the goodies you had =
spread out! I'm the one who just about ran off with an extra set of your =
reamers, etc! Well, back to work so I can pay for my trip to your booth. =
Actually, though, I learned enough in San Diego to more than pay for the =
whole trip and make me lots of dough in the future. An investment in =
yourself education-wise pays back dividends for a lifetime. I realize =
I'm mostly preaching to the choir here, but for all of you that are =
sitting on the fence about going to a PTG convention, don't think about =
it. Do it!

    Hi Joe,
    The Germans used H for B ages ago.It still can be found on some =
antique bar type music instruments.
    Seems that there were two european instrumental music lines, German =
and Italian. The italians playing violins and mostly in sharps, while =
the Germans were into the use of wind instruments that played more in =
the flat keys.
    Bb was always there in the key and referred to as B. So when =
instruments were able to play more chromatically they needed to call B =
natural by another name hence the "H" . At least that was what my profs =
told me long ago. I do not have sources to quote.

      Uh, Stephen,
      I'm having a little trouble finding HH, h, h1, h2, & h3 on my =
piano  :-)  :-)

      Should I also assume that Diane knows that the only actual =
frequency from your chart one might find existing on his well tuned =
piano would be A  @ 440Hz?

        >  Does anyone know of a site on the net where I can find a =
chart giving the frequencies for all the notes on the piano?  I am at =
the hearing safety convention and it would be helpful to me in talking =
with some of these people who understand frequencies a
        nd hearing but nothing about piano tuning.
        > I don't have much time to research on the internet because of =
classes, roommates, etc.  and would greatlly appreciate it if anyone has =
