Hi list, please see below: The N.Y Chapter of the PT^G is pleased to invite you to an all day lecture given by Ed McMorrow R.P.T. of Seattle WA. 4/18/2009 "Tone is not for tasting" @ AC Pianocraft 9 AM. Ed will be presenting material both from his first book "THE EDUCATED PIANO and from his upcoming book titled "GRAND DELIGHT". Ed has extensive experience preparing and servicing pianos for performance venues as well as complete rebuilding of grand pianos including belly replacement, action design and fabrication, art case restoration, custom art case fabrication, and hand-rubbed finishes. His extensive and comprehensive work experience has been the proving ground for his model of pianosound that is contained within the new concept of Musically Intelligible Sound (MIS) that he will be presenting at the seminar. These concepts make possible the incorporation of the standard engineering protocols of modern manufacturing. This has not been possible before because the definition and coordination of pianosound with action response was not feasible in any practicable way. The framework of MIS and pianosound is consonant with the body of scientific work on piano acoustics and congruent with the traditions of some of the finest piano makers, pianists, and piano technicians. These traditions are organized in a way that unifies the development of tone and touch. This lecture is not a dry academic exercise on esoteric ephemera that only excites pedants. It is a proven and practical way to approach piano service that will generate recognition of piano technicians as professionals who strive to represent the pianist's interest's. Ed has lectured many times to piano technicians and musicians in his 38 year career and never fails to hold the audiences interest with the quality of his presentations. Please join him at this program and bring your piano thought processes and spirit. Together, Yes We Can, improve the quality of piano service in the world. Ed will have a limited number of copies of THE EDUCATED PIANO available at this lecture. Priced at 10% off for the day ($99.00), with 10% of the book sales donated to the NYC chapter. There will be a drawing for free copy held at the end of the program. Hope to see you there!
