Presented by Jim Busby RPT and Vince Mrykalo, RPT

A different approach from most voicing classes.
  • Three full days where you will develop listening skills and explore a variety of methods to bring out the best tone for each piano.
  • Each technician will have their own piano to work on, and together as a class, all participants will hear the transformation of every one of the pianos.
  • Some lecture, much demonstration, and lots of hands-on with one-on-one attention.

In this class you will learn:
  • Techniques to help you listen more critically
  • Methods to efficiently “concert prep” the piano prior to voicing
  • Traditional voicing methods
  • What to do when traditional methods don’t work for specific makes of hammers
  • Steinway and Sons (NY) tone building (using lacquer)
  • Alternate voicing methods that many concert technicians successfully use
