Minutes of the May Meeting
by Marty Dinerstein - Secretary
The May meeting of the Nassau PTG was held on May 11, 2004 at the church in
Baldwin. Eight members and one guest attended.
The meeting started at 7:15 PM. The previous minutes were read and
accepted. A treasurer's report was given by Paul Keogler. Paul advised us that our
rent is paid until the end of June and we have money for our delegate to
the convention.
The dinner committee reported that our June party will be held at Fratelli
Iavarrone Restaurant in Lake Success. It is on June 8, at 7 PM. The cost is $38
per person and checks should be sent to Paul Keogler.
We also decided that future meetings will be held at Steinway Piano's
Westbury store in the Fortunoff Shopping Center. We will save rent costs and
have the advantage of better pianos to use for technical presentations. The
business meeting ended at 8 PM.
Our technical was by Kent Webb of Steinway. He discussed servicing the
vertical piano. Kent gave us some practical tips on servicing verticals in the
home. Some tips were: check plate bolts, check for rust on the strings, and
tighten action screws. Don't change the tone of the piano unless requested, as
your taste may not be the same as the client.
Kent also mentioned that a touch-up kit to color nicks and scratches would
be appreciated by the client. Checking dampers and touch weight is also
helpful.
We thank Kent for his interesting and informative presentation.
