[CAUT] Oberlin/ Steinway Technician's Workshop.

[Mark Dierauf]

I've also been a tech for 30 years, but I felt that I learned more in a 
week at Oberlin than any other technical event that I've ever attended. 
As Lawrence says, the opportunity for hand (and ears) on work with these 
people - I was lucky enough to spend most of my week with Eric Shandall 
- was definitely a worthwhile experience, as well as a pleasure.
