[pianotech] Square Grand Class?

[David Stocker]

Joe,

Living not that far away, I could see doing a half day to a full day 
seminar.

Most of us don't run into squares on a regular basis. One sign of a "good" 
education is not memorizing, but knowing where to find the facts you need 
for the moment. It would be easier to justify access to the knowledge when I 
need it, perhaps by book/pamphlet or even a .pdf file. A .pdf can contain 
pictures as well.

I appreciate your desire to share your knowledge and experience with us. I 
would love to see it readily available.

All,
I proposed an all day Square Grand Class for the Bellvue Convention, that
would cover all that is needed to know, to, intellgently/skillfully work on
these beasts.Over the years, I've had to re-invent a whole lot of
techniques for square grands, as nothing was written down, as far as I've
been able to find. Because of this, I made the proposal.
"No", was the decision. I suspect that lack of interest was the reason for
the decision. Or, possibly, time constraints. Either way, it won't be
given.
Many techs have spent much time on the phone, with me, discussing the
various techniques needed to tune, rebuild and maintain Square Grands. I am
wondering just how many techs are truly interested in this sort of
information, as I 'm considering putting on my own, one or two day seminar.
Would they come, if offered? That is the question I pose to y'all?  Your
response, yea/nay, would be appreciated. (yeah, I know, it's a slow day and
I need amusement or abuse or ???<G>)(I'd put it on the New List, as well,
but I still haven't figured out how to do that.<G>)
Regards,
Joe
