Greetings San Diego Chapter,
Our season of fantastic chapter technicals is well underway. Special thanks to Lisa Weller, RPT for leading our chapter in the Piano Technician Playground experience last month! Sessions such as this require extensive preparation on behalf of the presenter and are a great educational opportunity for our members of all levels. Thanks to all who attended that one!
This month our very own chapter vice president and local finish repair specialist, Paul McCloud, RPT, will be leading us through some hands-on finish polishing work on the three chapter-owned pianos that are in Brian's workshop. Come ready to get a tad "grubby" on this one! Lunch and hang time on the back deck will follow!
Looking ahead, note that our meeting on November 7 will once again be at Brian's shop, and the task will be to recondition two upright pianos; from pulling them apart, cleaning, and working through all the steps involved to prep them for sale.
One additional important note is that internal chapter communication will no longer be sent through email. As other chapters have done successfully before us, we have started using the free messaging app called GroupMe. Brian sent details regarding this change and how to sign up in an email that was sent on September 23rd. Our members can expect to find that in their inbox history for further information.
