<DIV> <STRONG><EM><FONT size=3> Hi All</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=3> 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.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=3> 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. </FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=3> 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.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=3> 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. </FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=3> Starts April 18 thru 22. Register
early. Check the roster of teachers on the web site. </FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=3> See you there?</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>

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</I></B><B><I> can easily
detect & correct this commonly overlooked problem.
Correcting this problem sets the pianos voice free to sing &
soar.<BR>"Voicing without needles" & "power without noise" is a very
specific & technician friendly approach to tone building</I></B>
