Complete Regulation for the Grand Piano

[Andrew & Rebeca Anderson]

Thanks Joe,
I am an associate member of the guild now that I live near enough to an 
active chapter to participate.  My work has been more directly tuning 
related and putting out "fires" in the action, occasional 
repair/recondition work.  I have the guild's book on grand regulation as 
well as the Reblitz book, second edition.
When asked, I had my doubts that repair and regulation could be entirely 
separated (especially in '68 Yamaha grand), but I was curious and the 
responses (thank-you everyone) have been educational.
