The general meeting for this month will be held on Tuesday, September 10 starting at 7 p.m. at:

Please note: Frank and Camille's closes at 8 p.m. The meeting must begin promptly.

This month's technical class will be presented by our old friend Lee Dobrins from the Long Island-Suffolk County Chapter PTG. Lee will offer his approach and techniques for voicing. His descripton of his class:

In our every day work tuning, most of us seldom have been required to voice a piano. My skills in voicing, because of this, were rather limited as well. Only since being involved in total restoration of high-end pianos, was it necessary for me to do voicing well, and have a prospective customer hopefully say "this is the best sounding piano I have heard since I started looking for one". Even if you don’t do many high-end pianos, some of these techniques can get you out of a sticky situation with a customer who says, "This note sounds funny".

This technical will try to cover some of the voicing techniques, definitions, and why we do certain things to achieve the results we would like to get, as time permits.

The Executive Committee will meet prior to the general meeting at 5 p.m. at the Carle Place Diner, on the northeast corner of Old Country Road and Glen Cove Road.

The June meeting was our season-end dinner party, which was held on on Tuesday evening June 11, 2013 at Tappo Ristorante in Glen Cove.

The monthly meeting of the Long Island-Nassau Chapter PTG for Tuesday October 8 will be a technical tour of the Steinway & Sons factory in Astoria. Please mark this date on your calendars now, so you will be certain to join us for this special event. The meeting time and more details will appear in the October newsletter. We hope to see all of you then.
