A big THANK YOU to you and your chapter in St Louis for a great seminar. =
There was an ample offering of a variety of classes to satisfy anyone. =
I've already applied what I learned from two classes to the delight of =
one of the retailers. It's those little tricks and insights as well as =
the concepts of alternative temperaments that made this event so worth =
while. The concert Friday night was a real delight. I sat in the middle =
of the hall just left of the center aisle. Ed Foote used one of Jim =
Coleman's temperaments which seemed to open up the sound of the piano =
for a clean rich tone that was more than just tuning and voicing. I =
could hear everything. The evening was flavored by Skip Becker's =
introduction of Temperaments that were in use  around the time the =
selected pieces were written and how the composers took advantage of the =
coloring to add to the emotional effects of their work. Annette Burkhart =
and Dr. Jennifer Lim's performances beautifully illustrated his points. =
Mrs. Burkhardt's comments about the selected pieces added to the delight =
of a well rounded repertoire and enjoyable evening.
Have you ever seen a grand action work that has only the wippen lever =
with a jack and a hammer and shank assembly-nothing else? It worked! But =
Wally Brooks added a few pieces from time to time to illustrate how the =
action evolved and how best to keep up with the regulation to give the =
class  a very good grounding in regulation. Ed Foote's class on the =
"evolution" of the temperament is a must for anyone tuning ,just to get =
a better understanding of what you are doing AND what you are missing. =
Thanks Ed! All the teachers did a great job! Thanks to all of them!

Also, I have a very keen interest in the "how" this seminar was put =
together and run because our chapter is hosting the CWR Seminar =
4/12-4/14/2002 in Rochester MN. (Yes that was a bold face plug!)
