Et Al; A new book made its debut at KC entitled; "A Piano Technicians Guide to Field Repairs" Authored by Steve Brady, it contains contributions from such as Susan Graham, Bill Spurlock, Del Fandrich, Bill Garlick and others. It is a useful and elegant little addition to everyones library. By providing lots of easily understandable information and 'good' pictures, drawings and charts it should be helpful in jogging our collective memory cells for those who have been around for awhile even while providing some down to earth techniques/reasons for those who haven't. In the preface Steve says; "The present volume attempts to lay bare, in a systematic way, the skills needed for a good foundation in doing the day-to-day repairs that piano technicians face" Steve has accomplished his goal. Well done Steve. Jim Bryant (FL) P.S. Not obtaining your own copy of said book 'should' earn you at least a 5 on the Tremper index :-)
