This month's technical class will be part two of Steve Fairchild, Senior's tuning class. He will discuss aspects of both aural and visual tuning, and another topic he is quite noted for, pitch raising.

The Executive Committee will meet at 5 PM at La Parma Restaurant, 410 Merrick Road, Oceanside prior to the general meeting.

It is funny how we sometimes overlook the simplest or most efficient method of doing something because we are so comfortable with our usual procedures. I was recently reconditioning an action, and as part of the normal process of "preparing" the keyframe, I was aligning the front rail keypins. The oval shape of these pins often makes it difficult to determine if their sides are positioned exactly parallel to the key mortise. After all these years, it finally occurred to me to use a magnifying glass, which made the job much faster and far more accurate.
