[CAUT] Syllabus in Piano Technology

[Fred Sturm]

Alan McCoy collected various materials, but on the notion of a course  
about the piano (in some depth, with various levels of contact from  
full semester to one day presentation) for the general music student  
(especially those playing piano), leading to understanding the  
instrument. From what you say below, I am assuming you are after  
"becoming a piano technician" instead. If you need the other sort, say  
so and I can pass along some things, including an outline I did  
recently for a couple in depth presentations to piano majors. Teaching  
someone the trade, that's a completely different kettle of fish.
