Dear List Friends,

I had the privilege to attend a one day service seminar sponsored by the 
Steinway Dealer in Kansas City, Schmitt Music.  The technician teaching the 
class was Eric Shandall, who has been employed by Steinway in the basement 
in New York City for about a year.  In his former life, he was a college 
technician for 26 years in British Columbia.  I just wanted to give a 
public thanks to Steinway & Sons, Schmitt Music, and of course Eric 
Shandall.  Mr. Shandall did a fabulous job!  He taught for 6 hours in the 
morning, and then again for another 3 hours last night.

I think I finally understand the concept of cross-papering hammer flanges now!

Happy Tuning!
