This month we will join the "Multi Chapter" PTG meeting on Monday, January 20 at Kim’s Piano in Stanton.
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. Further information is available at www.bechstein.com.
