Just in case anyone's in the area...come on down Dale Erwin R.P.T. Erwin's Piano Restoration Inc. Mason & Hamlin/Steinway/U.S. pianos www.Erwinspiano.com Phone: 209-577-8397 Helloeveryone, On August18th The Fresno and Modesto PTG chapters will be having a specialcombined meeting. This will be a wonderful opportunity for our chapters to getto know each other better andto be instructed by two very skilled RPT’s Dale Erwin and LaRoy Edwards. LaRoyEdwards of the Fresno chapter will teach his ever popular class on "Aftertouch", with a few items thrown in on tips and techniques to make grandaction regulation a bit easier and more accurate. His presentation is based on the many years as one of theprimary developers and instructors of the Little Red Schoolhouse program taughtby Yamaha for the last 41 years. Ipersonally learned how to regulate grands effectively from LaRoy. LaRoy has a wonderful way of making complex comprehensivesubjects comprehensible in his usual humble and concise style. His class time will be approx. 1 1/2 hours. Dale Erwin of the Modestochapter will present 1 1/2 hours....or so... on,” Action ratios, Hammer weightsand Regulation." You ask...and how will that help me? This presentation is based on a class presented at West-pac Utah in February. We'll explore how hammer weight and key leverage affect everything we perceiveand adjust in the grand piano action. This should dovetail with Laroys classnicely. Right Laroy? A power point presentation helps make practical up close and personal hands onexamples. Using information from both classes should help you better serve your clientsand your income earning potential. The Fresno chapter have expressed an interest as to how the re-introduction ofthe famous Weickert felt occurred and what this is all about. The opportunityto hear and play at least 1 Steinway B with Weickert hammers will be madeavailable. It’s a lot to pack in to a short time but it should be time well spent.
