Literature

[Greg Newell]

Dean,

                How do you explain one of the first pages where it shows
keys and hammers sticking in a grand piano. How can the Dampp-Chaser unit
address that? Clearly this is addressed in an upright, but a grand?

I have found the DampChaser brochure to be a very useful tool- especially
with churches. It gives the secretary, or whoever, something to take to the
board for approval. 

 

I also use it as part of my sales pitch. As I flip through the pages with
them I explain how it works, what it looks like, how they add water, etc. 

 

There’s not much of a downside to giving them out. They are pretty
inexpensive and very professionally produced.

    I used to hand out literature, technical bulletins, etc., but I find
that, for the most part, you're lucky if anybody bothers to read it.  They
stuff it in the piano bench, thinking they might read it later, but they
never do.  When you follow up by asking if they'd like any reconditioning,
regulating, or voicing work, their answer reveals that they didn't read zip.

    Same on the roads -- people don't bother to read any more.  "Right Lane
Must Turn Right" -- they disregard and charge straight ahead.  "55 MPH" --
they disregard or don't look at it at all and blast ahead at 70.  Or even
85.  "Fines Doubled for Speeding in Work Zone" -- they disregard;  fines
could be quadrupled and they'd still go barreling by 20 mph over the limit.
I've seen people in the park feeding the geese right under the "Do Not Feed
the Geese" sign.  

    I've had piano owners ask how often their (new) piano should be tuned,
which is now two years old and a half-step flat, when right in the piano
bench is the owner's manual explaining why it needs more frequent tuning the
first few years and how often to tune it subsequently.   Same with care of
the finish.  It says right in there.  But they don't bother with reading.
Too used to movies, videos, computer screens.  God forbid they should
actually read anything.  No wonder their kids never pick up a book.

Where is the best place to order more Dampp-Chaser literature that we use to
give our clients explaining the system?  And while I'm doing that, what
other brochures do you keep in your tuning kit to hand out as information to
your customers?

 

I finally ordered my new tuning kit this morning!

It looks like this one won't develop me a hernia or skater's elbow.  I have
saved a few of the e-mails from ya'll in the past regarding what you use,
and I actually will order one of those for my regulating kit!

 

Thank you,

Matthew
