In Person San Diego County Chapter Technical: Saturday, May
21, 2022
Time: 9:00 am to Noon
Location: Brian Janey’s Shop
2495 Via
Rancheros, Fallbrook CA 92028
In his presentation, "The Humble Console," Brian will lead us through a discussion of what he does in the course of a 2-hour appointment to improve the condition of the typical run down console to help make happy owners out of those who perhaps made a less than solid choice or perhaps had the console thrust upon them by unknowing relatives. The essence of the class will be how to run a commercial piano service. Topics will include what to look for in a piano inspection, when to call something a piano shaped object (PSO), educating the piano owner, case disassembly, cleaning the interior and how to address "loose legs," best practice for lubrication and sticky/sluggish action and keys, "triage" - taking care of the worst, yanking pianos up to pitch, voicing, and tools of the trade.
Due to the limited space and nature of the session this event is limited to
our San Diego Chapter members only. Please contact Brian in advance if you plan
on attending. BrianJaney@gmail.com
From Brian, “We'll start at 9:00 am in the
shop and break for a lovely lunch. For those that would like to hang out
further, even have a glass of wine, there are some pretty views in this neck of
the woods to take in while we continue the conversation, if you have time.”
