The February gathering of the South Bay Chapter featured Don Mannino sharing from his wealth of experience on tuning. Beginning with the question, "Why are pianos so doggone hard to tune?" Don spoke at length about common difficulties with tuning, particularly unisons, and how to address many of those issues to produce a beautiful singing unison.
For our March meeting, we will welcome Ed Whitting, RPT, speaking on the topic, "One Man Tripod Dolly Installation." The class will discuss tools, supplies, wheel and caster selection, unique height specifications, and a complete description of how to efficiently assemble and place a grand piano on a dolly (Piano Truck), regardless of its size.
