In addition to some factory photos and a few high-speed films from the Kawai R&D department, we will be discussing some practical tuning, regulation and voicing tips as they relate to getting the best tone possible form fine grand pianos.   A PDF file is attached giving more information, or you may contact the store:   Jeff & Fritz Tasch Grand Piano Haus 3640 W.
