Subject: André Oorebeek Hammer Prep Seminar
Having arranged two such seminars with André in Norway, and being aware
of several others in France and elsewhere in Europe, I can HIGHLY
recommend attendance. There are few who have attended so many of the
worlds major manufacturers Academies as André and few who have managed
to build up such a thriving independent status as a concert prep
artist/technician.
Anyone looking for keen insights as to how to ready an instrument for
any concert situation, or do a top notch basic hammer change including
finish voicing for a critical piano situation should make the effort to
attend and pick up what one can in this kind of a seminar. 2 days may be
a short time, but if you are good at putting yourself on the students
bench... this kind of intimate seminar is an absolute must.
Best Regards to Jack Howling for arranging the affair !

A very special seminar will be held in Vancouver BC on July 26 and
27th. André Oorebeek will be coming from Amsterdam to give an
exclusive 2 day seminar on prepping hammers, from the raw state to
concert-ready.
More details can be seen here:

The Canadian Association of Piano Technicians (CAPT) has generously
offered to pick up a large portion of the expenses, so we could keep
the fees down to $150 for both days, including lunch and snacks.
There are a few spaces left and we expect to fill the seminar up fairy
quickly. Jack Houweling is taking registrations, his email is:
