Thanks for your presentation Lowell! It's so nice to have such a great teacher in our chapter. One of these days I'll attempt to manufacture a voicing block with my table saw, using your technique.

Thanks to everyone for your gift to our family's new addition. The card was a complete surprise, and we can't thank you enough!

By the way, that last comment was from me, not vt ptg.

I would like to host the next meeting on 4/8/08. I would like to feature 2 pianos that I'm restoring: a 1790 Longman & Broderip square piano from London and a 1876 Stineway A which is getting a new back action and an upgraded sostenuto mechanism.
