somewhat OT- Acquiring Education -- was Re: who pays?

[Garret Traylor]

Hi Joe,
I had a similar piano the other day.  I had some rubber cement which I
applied.  Do you think your solution might ever give cause for a buzz?

Kindest Regards,

Garret

Hey,

I just learned a new thing today.

Newer Baldwins with the slight hook to attach the bridal tape.

Been placing a dab of glue on the tape to secure the buggers

and muttering to myself when ever I encounter one that someone 

else or myself has done that way and the tape must be replaced.

A light came on today I guess due to it not being an Accrosonic

but a school style cabinet and I couls see things better.

 

BENT THE BRIDAL WIRE SO THAT IT SLIGHTLY TOUCHED THE 

CATCHER WIRE.

That will keep the tape from riding up and off the hook.

The Hawaii chapter has been meeting every other month since I got here last
year, (The first time ever that it has ben meeting on a regular basis), but
there are only 6 of us who attend meetings. I talked with one non-member the
other day, and he basically stated that at his stage of development, (about
the same as yours and mine), he really doesn't need to come to meetings to
learn. I have been thinking of putting together a newsletter to send out to
all the tuners on the island, (about 20 of them), to encourage them to come
to meetings. I want to ask permission to use what you just said. Maybe it
will encourage some of them to realize the importance of learning. 

On a similar note, just before he died at the age of 86, I asked my dad if
he had any regrets. His answer was. "I've got so much more to learn".

That's why I don't understand the people who don't read the list unless they
want a specific answer, and don't seem concerned as to why things work like
they do. There has been a bunch of times something I read here saved my butt
years after I read it, when I had no earthly use for it at the time. People
mostly seem to want isolated lick and stick factoids, specific to the crisis
du jour and expiring on application, rather than long term integrated
systems of basic principles applicable to almost anything. Handing them a
"what" may solve their current problem, but if they care enough to bother to
work out the "why", they can avert a thousand future problems and get into
trouble at much higher and more interesting levels than before.
