With regard to Terry's post, there are lots of hotels, and lots of rooms, be sure to see my post with Don Rose's link to Brandon hotels. BTW I'm interested to see a healthy mix of registrants; no rebuilding experience, rebuilders with no soundboard experience, and experienced bellymen (or is that belly-persons?). As the saying goes, "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts." I'm glad to see so many willing to share their part towards a greater understanding of both the need for and practise of re-bellying fine pianos. Christian Bolduc, Andre's son has studied cabinet-making prior to his rebuilding experience with his dad, as well as a year with Schimmel in Germany as a bellyman. Christian will be assisting his Dad here at Brandon University in February. Mark Cramer, RPT
