[pianotech] Haynes Piano Manual

[David Porritt]

David:

 

I too prefer a customer who knows something about their piano and the more
information they have the easier it is for them to understand what they
need.

 

I also understand the downside which is exemplified by this site.
<http://www.balaams-ass.com/>   This guy has made it his life's work to
discredit legitimate piano service people - particularly PTG members.  I
haven't heard anything about him for a long time, so maybe he's not as
aggressively disparaging us now.  Just the name of the site says volumes.

No, I don't get it, Joe.  

I have not encountered these many other manuals you refer to, except for the
1920 Amateur Mechanic extract that I put on my Technical Info page, with
just such strictures as you mention.  

What are these many other manuals, and what would you point to in the Haynes
book - which I presume you have read - as an example of falsely suggesting
that something is easy to do with minimal effort?

And do you not accept that the full-colour photos throughout make this a
useful supplement to Reblitz for the piano technology student?

Best regards,

David.




David,
I've seen far too many "manuals" such as this. They all espouse that the
work needed, on any piano, is easy to do and with minimal effort, one can
achieve good results! That's pure Bull*&$*!! This one is no different and
does a disservice to our trade, imo.
Get it?
Regards,
Joe
