As other have mentioned, David and I have never met in person, but we have shared many a stories on this list. I will miss his humor, not to mention his talents as a piano technician. This is a big loss for our small industry. Thanks, Israel, for sharing the sad news.

The family wishes to keep details private. David has served as President of the San Francisco Chapter in past years, and his term of office was marked by many interesting and imaginative technical offerings - many of them of the "hands-on" variety. In recent years he has been the Treasurer of the PTG Northern California Area Exam Board. A long-time concert technician, David was a tech for Pro Piano Concert Services and for Billy Joel. He also was the technician at Stanford University and at several San Francisco area concert halls. David was always willing to share insights and technical ideas and was an active "pianoman" in the fullest sense both as a professional musician and piano technician. He was also gregarious and generous of spirit. He will be missed by all who knew him... Israel Stein -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
