Voicing without needles

[Erwinspiano at aol.com]

Hi All
  For those maybe considering attending the  Mid Atlantic regional conference 
in Valley Forge P. A. I submit the  description of the class I'll teach 
there.  Some of you have  asked about details concerning the strike line stuff & I 
have decided to  strategically withhold this info. till after April  so as to 
encourage  folks to go to this great convention.
    The affable Paul Adams &  Steve Taylor have organized  a great show.  I 
sense a freshness  in there approach & a refreshing  open minded, cutting edge, 
out side  the box approach to convention. 
    It's such a blessing by  the folks in charge to value there instructors 
by offering to pay my  expenses & they feed you regularly too etc.
  Looking forward to it.  They say they  often have as many as 300 to 400 
registrants.  WOW!. They have to cut it  off at 400.  I said "cut it off"....in 
disbelief.  Forgive my  enthusiasm. 
   Starts April 18 thru 22. Register  early. Check the roster of teachers on 
the web site. 
  See you there?
  Regards

"Finding The Strike Line"  & "Voicing  without needles"
Dale Erwin, RPT  -   Erwin's  Piano Restoration  -  Modesto, CA:  1 1/2  Hours

Ever  installed a new set of hammers only to have dismal results in the 
treble  sections?     An incorrect hammer strike line  produces a weak sustain, 
lack of color & loss of power.   Many  pianos came from the factory not hitting 
the sweet spot.  The  overall  sound development suffers and voicing is 
rendered less  effective.  Custom Restoration techniques can easily  detect & correct 
this commonly overlooked problem.   Correcting this problem sets the pianos 
voice free to sing &  soar.
"Voicing without needles" & "power without noise" is a very  specific & 
technician friendly approach to tone building  & without endless needling!  Learn 
practical ways to  select the right hammer for your jobs by sampling.  
Learn 10 minute methods to determine Action ratio  (Geometry) & how to 
quickly use it to your advantage when choosing new  parts & hammer weights.
Much More.
