Jurgen First of all, I don't know who had the Gaul to tell you that you're "not doing anything for the world of piano technology and for generally being a nobody." But that person aught to be shot for even thinking it. All of us, in our own way, contribute something, to not only the world of piano technology, but also to our personal and professional life, just by participating in this forum, and being part of the human race. We all have an impact on each other. Some people just don't realize it. As far as a topic for a book, I would suggest that you ask yourself what you would like to write about. Once you've decided what YOU want to write about, do the research and the experiments to come up with real answers to real problems. Whether it's voicing, grand regulating, bridge notching, or whatever. you can only write a good book if you are truly interested in the topic. But whatever topic you choose, know that you can ask us to help you with your research and experiments. Because, as you have found out, we have many different ideas on how to do it "right". :) Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician Mililani, Oahu, HI 808-349-2943 Author of: The Business of Piano Tuning available from Potter Press www.pianotuning.com -----Original Message----- From: Jurgen Goering <pianoforte at pianofortesupply.com> To: pianotech <pianotech at ptg.org> Sent: Sun, 5 Apr 2009 9:54 am Subject: [pianotech] Ideas for redemption <fontfamily><param>Arial</para m><smaller>Dear Fellow Piano Technicians, Late last year I was taken to task of this forum for not doing nything for the world of piano technology and for generally being a obody. That got me to thinking: What is it that I could do, not only o emerge from the shadows of the Land of Nobody here I allegedly esided, but also to truly contribute something to our craft. have family members who are active and successful in the world of ooks, so I’m thinking: Why not follow the family tradition and bring ut a book about pianos? What about a technical book? Let’s see here what aspect of piano technology has not been adequately written bout? What is it that technicians crave to learn more about but annot find the good information they seek? hat about voicing? Is there a demand/need/market for something like hat? oes anyone think a book on voicing would be a good idea?<x-tad-smaller> urgen Goering</x-tad-smaller></smaller></fontfamily>= -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
