Feedback from episode

This lecture contains practical, useful techniques I can put to use immediately!

I did not realize the intricate details that could affect a piano for a concert artist. I was astounded at Sally's knowledge of this subject and will hopefully be able to better a piano for concerts. My overall expectation is to become a sought after concert technician

Feedback from Piano Technicians Radio hour

- when she was the guest speaker 

The organization of the presentation, the content, and mostly Sally's knowledge, vast experience, and wisdom. Also.. HOW she presented the material. Bravo.

Sally Phillips is an extraordinary source of facts and varied experience. I very much appreciated her being in control of the hour, having a script or outline, and covering the pertinent material that she had to share.

Seeing Sally again. I attended many of her classes when I was starting out and have always followed her guidance throughout my career.
