[CAUT] A Project that might Work

[Wolfley, Eric (wolfleel)]

Hi Ed,

 

This seems like a great idea to me and I will run it by the committee to
find a volunteer to coordinate such an effort. Perhaps it could be
compiled and edited into topics which could be formatted and posted on
the CAUT website as well. In this form it could be the beginnings of a
pianopaedia forum with relevant technical info from identified authors
which could grow...

Dear CAUT List Folks-

 

Over the past year the Journal has used gracious contributions of the
CAUT Committee to expand our technical coverage.

In particular, Fred Sturm has given us the use of his posts (edited by
him, and a then little more by us) to show some methods of efficient
institutional maintenance. Kent Swafford is currently compiling some
earlier posts about sostenuto regulation (real tech posts about real
regulation problems!), which we will soon publish. It would be wonderful
if the Journal were to receive similar contributions on technical topics
for an extended period.

 

A general range of topics could be: Institutional piano maintenance,
Tuning, voicing, regulating the high performance piano.

 

I am suggesting the most productive effort would be focused on the
practical daily work of the college technician. Other topics might
eventually be covered under a different sponsor.

 

Articles should mostly be about generally accepted technical practice
which can be replicated and tested, and any unusual opinions should
clearly be identified as such.

 

The CAUT Committee would have  authority to review/plan/make topic
assignments  for the project.

 

The CAUT Committee and Journal editors will create a "template" for the
articles, which should facilitate production.

 

The Journal editors will contribute editing, spelling and photo shop
skills to the project.

 

If we can agree on this model, or some modification of it, and get
approval from the CAUT Committee, we can proceed to the next levels of
development, such as listing possible topics, discussing how to extract
the material, assigning writers, etc.

 

I would like to hear responses to this idea.

 

[Please don't use clever names and cute phrases. I can't understand
them.]

 

Thank you!
