Our technical talk for August was given by Mark
Greisen. Mark, a self-taught tuner, who learned piano tuning out of John
Travis’ book Let’s Tune Up, related his method of setting a temperament for
people who have trouble counting beat speeds. Using techniques for both
Travis and William Braid White he showed how to go around the notes in the A3 -
A4 temperament until they were forced into a reasonably good relationship.
Before the technical talk Glenn Treibitz of Hollywood piano gave a very
interesting insight into his experiences in the piano business. He would be a
very good speaker for a monthly meeting. Thanks for Glenn and Gus Franco and all
the staff at Hollywood Piano for hosting out meeting.
Our next meeting
will be a celebration of 5 new RPTs, 4 from our chapter and one who just moved
to Los Angeles. This may be a record number for new RPTs in the Los Angeles
chapter in one year. We still have 4 months left if any others are thinking of
taking the exams.
Our new RPTs from North Bennet Street School – Eric,
Scott & Cary, will give us a presentation about their experiences in Boston. We
also look forward to hearing from Adrian and Yoshi about their journey to the
RPT exams.
Congratulations to you all!
