This month's technical class will be given by the Northeast Regional VP, Paul Kupelian. He will discuss the new PTG application process and other items that passed at this year's Council Session in Rochester. In addition, he will do a mini-technical on replacing the old style leather lid buttons on older Steinways. The procedure uses two sizes of round leather punchings made from cowhide, which are glued in place where the old lid buttons were. This procedure is a great restoration technique, as it keeps the original concept of the lid buttons without replacing them with the hard plastic or rubber buttons with the nails in them. The repair will also last many years after the plastic or rubber ones have dried out and cracked. Last month's meeting was our season-end dinner party, which was held on Tuesday evening June 13, 2006 at Steve's Piccola Bussola in Westbury. |
