ORANGE COUNTY CHAPTER
September Meeting:
Date: Mon., 9/22/2025
Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Zoom
In August, instead of a chapter meeting, we had our annual backyard party at the Vandersmith's in Anaheim. Lots of food and fellowship, meeting new faces and connecting with old. Always the best local event of the year. Thanks to David and Kathy for hosting us!
For September 22, we will have a zoom meeting based on an idea from our new Vice-President, James Gregory. He calls it “An Interactive Piano Technician Socratic Seminar.” Piano technicians will share stories based on prompts and debate various topics via anonymous submission in a respectful and educational manner.
It will be in two parts: Part One - Stories from the field (and we have lots of them) - when we were right and when the client was right.
Part Two - Anonymous unpopular opinions that will be collected from different piano technicians in the chapter and also some random ones from the internet. For example, someone might suggest the topic that "aural tuning is useless, and ETD's are the only way to go." These opinions will be collected without a name attached to them so we can discuss without being defensive.
If anyone is reading this and would like to submit a "hot button topic" or anything controversial, you can send them to me: randywoltz@sbcglobal.net or jamesmgregory@gmail.com
