SAN DIEGO COUNTY CHAPTER
April Meeting: (2nd Tuesday)
Date: Tuesday, April 12, 2022
Time: 7:00
pm
Location: Your Device
This month our chapter will once again join a multi-chapter meeting. The LA and South Bay Chapters will be hosting a session featuring Don Mannino, RPT and Kawai MPA on the topic of comparing aural and electronic tuning. Thank you to LA and South Bay Chapter organizers and members for the invitation to participate in what is bound to be another informative session.
The session will be on Tuesday, April 12th at 7:00 pm and is entitled, “Aural or Electronic Concert Tuning: Which is better?” Don will pre-tune 2 concert grands, one aurally and one electronically, and talk about many aspects of the similarities and differences. He will talk a little about the new feature in Reyburn Cybertuner that allows us to take more detailed measurements of the string partials in the tenor area to improve the tuning across the break. In the course of the session Don will cover the differences between a quick practice room tuning, a home tuning, and a concert tuning; and he will make an effort to define and demonstrate aspects of an 'excellent' tuning vs. a 'mediocre' tuning, and help us all to set goals for leaving pianos with the best tuning and sound quality possible.
This is a new seminar by Mr. Mannino, so all attendees will get to enjoy being test subjects for its first presentation!
The San Diego Chapter will have our annual meeting soon. The details are yet to be determined and will be sent to our members in an upcoming San Diego Chapter newsletter.
