The General Meeting
The general meeting for this month will be held on Tuesday, January 9 starting at 7 p.m. at:
Frank and Camille's Keyboard Center
This month's technical class will be given by Wally and Melanie Brooks. Here's how they describe it:
371 Old Country Road Carle Place, New York (516) 333-2811 Practical Touchweight Analysis (K.I.S.S. your weight troubles goodbye!) Presenting a practical approach to touch weight and its uses in grand hammers and action parts replacement. This class will prepare you with the proper technical knowledge of weight measurements and parts selection and their effects on tone and touch in the grand piano action and the use of sample kits. Since they have a long drive, we'll be holding the technical first, ahead of the business meeting. The Executive Committee will meet prior to the general meeting at 5 p.m. at the California Pizza Kitchen, 1256 Old Country Road, Westbury, diagonally across the street (1/4 mile east) from Frank and Camille's. |
The previous general meeting was our annual Holiday Party, held on Tuesday evening December 5, 2006, at the George Washington Manor in Old Roslyn Village.
Tech Tip
It is now winter, and you should try to remember to remove your glues from your car overnight during the cold season. Constant freeze-thaw cycles can reduce the bonding properties and effectiveness of most adhesives (especially carpenter's wood glues such as Tite-Bond, PVC-E, etc.). And there is also the added inconvenience of trying to make a repair with a glue that is frozen solid or so thick that it will not flow.
