The Santa Barbara Chapter met on July 8, where we welcomed new member Ian Schafer and learned about his journey to piano technology and to our area. We also took the opportunity to reintroduce ourselves and our professional life histories.
We planned our summer picnic for Saturday, September 7 at Summerland Beach, and reviewed logistics for Luke Shanks' service as delegate, at the then-upcoming convention.
We had a varied technical session covering topics such as Roo Glue versus PVC-E, twisting bass wires to bring back tone, experiments with B72 to achieve subtle results, and ergonomic stances and lever grips for tuning.
Our next meeting will be Monday, August 12 at the Piano Kitchen in Santa Barbara, where we will hear convention reports from the 4 members who attended in Reno.
