Incredible Course Content
2:20 Intuitive Touch Regulation Method
INSTRUCTOR: GLEN BINGHAM
Using this method, you can produce complete grand action regulations in two hours and 20 minutes with the goal of developing their touch sensitivity. The only measuring tool that is used is a key dip block in the feeling of after-touch.
Tips & Tricks of the Masters
INSTRUCTOR: JIM WILSON
"Tips & Tricks of the Masters" is a session that offers a collection of valuable lessons and techniques derived from working with prominent figures in the piano tech industry. Jim shares insights on proven methods for tuning and maintaining pianos, as well as tips for diagnosing and addressing common issues, based on their extensive experience with industry legends.
Using a Bandpass Filter & Auditory Illusions
INSTRUCTOR: MARK CERISANO
Learn how to easily measure your unisons and intervals and know for sure how good they are. Using a free bandpass filter like Ocenaudio gives us the feedback we need to improve. Without accurate feedback, it is impossible to know what to improve, or even if we need to improve at all.
Superior Stability & Non-Speaking Tension Analysis
INSTRUCTOR: MARK CERISANO
This class will start with a basic description of stability, what it is, and how to measure it. We’ll then dive into new techniques to produce superior stability using non-speaking length tension analysis which considers physics, mechanics, and variables such as length of the non-speaking length, friction, twisting, bending, untwisting, unbending, etc. These concepts allow us to tune stable strings without the need to overuse hard blows which can damage our hearing, joints, and the piano.

A TRACK RECORD OF DELIVERING VALUE
Great value!
Online sessions are a great way for techs of any competency level to learn and grow. World class technicians are beamed directly into my home, from where they transport me back into their workshop, their alchemy laboratory, where they show me how they do their magic.
These sessions are one hour a week and time well spent. We get to see and hear some of the best if not the best. Its a great example of giving back to others and spreading knowledge to all levels. Outstanding !!!!
