Newbie; Cleaning actions

[Farrell]

Hello Claudia! You've gotten good input so far. Just curious, where are you taking a piano technology course?

Also, consider going to conventions. These are educational goldmines. Go to the national if you can, if not there are numerous regional and state conventions that are also wonderful. There is much there for the beginner and everyone else!
