The Pomona Valley Chapter celebrated the holidays with a chapter potluck in
December, with 8 participants and plenty of fellowship and fun!
This
month we will join the "Multi Chapter" PTG meeting on Monday, January 20 at
Kim’s Piano in Stanton. If anyone wants to join in a carpool let me know as we
have plenty of room in the minivan. Call Bill Shull at 909-796-4226.
Our
guest speakers will be Torben Garlin, Director of Concert and Institutional
Services for C. Bechstein, and Ralf Dewor, Bechnstein’s Chief Sales Officer. Mr.
Garlin will be discussing C. Bechstein concert service. What is the best way to
prepare yourself and your instrument for the pianist and to benefit from
encounters with them? This interactive seminar will cover everything from stable
tuning techniques and sensitive action regulation to the individual fine
intonation of C. Bechstein hammerheads.
Bechstein was founded by Carl
Bechstein in 1853 in Berlin, Germany. The factory survived two world wars and
several different owners. The company was purchased in 2006 by Bohemia, a Czech
piano maker, and makes the C. Bechstein Concert, Residence and Academy Series in
addition to W. Hoffmann and Zimmermann lines of grand pianos and uprights.
