June Chapter Meeting

Jim's Latest Tools and Tips
Taught by Jim Busby


This month's technical will be taught by Jim Busby and is titled "Jim's latest tools and tips". The class will be divided into two parts: The first part is on rebushing hammer and wippen flanges using a new tool that Jim made for each participant. This tool will make the job significantly easier and the method Jim will demonstrate is nearly fool proof. Each person will practice using the tool, and learn how to avoid the common, frustrating mistakes we all make. Jim will also teach you how to do an emergency bushing repair when you don't have "the right stuff". 

The second half of the class is on new tools and tips that haven't been shown before. We'll spend time with each tool so you'll get hands on experience. If time permits, we'll review some of the older tips.


In addition, we will be voting on chapter officers at the beginning of this meeting. If you have any nominations, please get them to Jerry Benson as soon as possible (contact info can be found at the bottom of the email).

In Review...

Last month Jason Cassel's aftertouch class on both grand and uprights was informative as we learned to 'Keep it in the ballpark AND catch the ball' in regards to aftertouch. We also learned how to use the aftertouch gauge properly and to let the piano tell you what it wants.
