What our clients say:
"The Online Piano Technicians Convention allowed me to keep my skills fresh and my knowledge growing at a time when we can't gather in the traditional classroom setting. Many thanks to Eathan for his vision and for making this event happen!"
"This format has an aspect that is superior to in person instruction, that is that the view and voice are controlled by a camera, not your location in the room! I say this after having attended many tutorials where I got to see an ass and an elbow! The masterclass camera keeps everything in clear view!!"
"While I already have a grounding in these areas of work, hearing another viewpoint gave me a new perspective on how to approach this subject. You should never stop learning, and this lecture substantially broadened my knowledge and understanding of piano tone control. Excellent work!"
"David Stanwood took us on a fabulous journey into the heart of piano tone by starting with a flock of sheep, from shearing, felting, up to the implications for pressing and voicing hammers...and beyond, shedding light on the the many techniques we technicians use to get a hammer to sound good from ppp to fff. Bravo."
