SUMMARY:Fortepiano maintenance\, regulation\, and repair workshop
DESCRIPTION:This three-day class will offer a hands-on introduction to the 
 care and maintenance of the wood-framed Viennese fortepiano\, the early pi
 ano most frequently made by modern builders\, and what today's technicians
  will most likely encounter. Subjects will include how to handle the seemi
 ngly delicate parts of a Viennese Prellmechanic without trepidation or dam
 age\; how to regulate and repair the action\, keyboard\, and dampers for b
 est performance\; and how to practice tuning an instrument much more light
 ly strung than today's piano. Many steps will be familiar\, however\, a fe
 w are unique to a Prellmechanic with no counterpart in the modern piano. 5
 -octave and 6 1/2-octave fortepianos will be available for the class.\nThe
  class will be taught by fortepiano builder R J Regier\, Freeport\, Maine.
  For further details contact the North Bennet Street School or R J Regier 
 at 207-865-6687\, samrodfp@aol.com.\nPrerequisite: This class is intended
  for the piano technician (or fortepiano owner) who wants to develop their
  skills. If you have questions about your experience\, please contact ce@n
 bss.edu.
