Dear PTG Members,

The Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, is planning to co-publish with
NAMM, a book based on the exhibit, entitled "PIANO 300:  Celebrating Three
Centuries of People and Pianos."  This book will be about 84 pages and will
be lavishly illustrated in color. Individual sections correspond to the
segments of the exhibit itself and an appendix will include the technical
specifications of the individual pianos in the exhibit.

PTG member, David Lamoreaux, RPT, has reviewed the book and finds it "very
impressive." Mr. Lamoreaux states "there will be additional chapters with
information on instruments that because of space limitations couldn't be put
in the Piano 300 gallery but are representative of piano making in the US --
such as spinet piano, the White House Steinway etc.."  "-- I would think a
lot of folk would like to have this book and also buy copies to give to
special clients."

The Piano Technicians Guild has the opportunity to order a quantity of these
books at a pre-publication discount. The final pricing to PTG members has
not yet been set, but should be less than $18.
