[pianotech] Technician's manual

[Tom Rhea, Jr.]

Hi Lefty, et al,

 

Yes, there is a Second Edition and it is part of the popular correspondence
course previously mentioned.  It's a very good reference source and I use it
often.

 

Regards,

Tom

Hi, Letty:

    This book is considered a "Bible" for a lot of technicians.  It is part
of the curriculum in a popular correspondence course.  It is available from
Schaff Piano Supply and other supply houses, and perhaps on Amazon or other
online booksellers.  I think there is a second edition out.  Some of the
information is a little dated, and the tuning instructions are hard to
follow.  There are better tuning instructions available from the Piano
Technicians Guild.  If you aren't a member, I would recommend joining.
You'll learn a lot.  As far as other books, I'll leave that to others, as
there are many.  The Reblitz book is probably the most popular of all.

    Best,

    Paul McCloud, RPT

I am an apprenticing piano technician, and recently my mentor showed me a
manual he has used for many years: Piano Servicing, Tuning, and Rebuilding
by Arthur A. Reblitz ) 1976.  I would love to have an overall technician
manual such as this, that addresses all manner of common piano repairs,
etc.  Have any of you used this book, or do you have other books you would
recommend that have been helpful to you?  Thank you!
