PTA News, 49 South Hamilton Street, KILMARNOCK, KA1 2DT Email: [email protected] 3 EDITORIAL ANNE BURTON When Yumi Shigeno was in Japan recently she visited the piano shop, H. Matsuo Musical Instruments, and has written an interesting article about her visit to this unique establishment on page 8. Following on from his article ‘Terry Pamplin Revisited’ in the October 2015 PTAN, Peter Crunden has sent in ‘Piano of the Month’, (page 11), an article by J W T Roope, which was first published in “The Pianomaker, Music and Radio Retailer” in February 1967. We thank the IMIT for generously allowing it to be reprinted again here. I hope that you will find the information about the new course which Steven Droy has started in Northampton to be of great interest (page 13). After a visit which is planned to the Piano Technology School, a follow up article should appear in the next issue along with some photographs. The next fascinating instalment of ‘Images from Piano History from Dr A Laurence is all about Frank Squire, page 16. Do you fancy a visit to a tuning fork factory? See page 17 for details about a visit to Granton Ragg in Sheffield, organised by Paul Fox. You’ll find the answers to the Codeword (page 21) and the Picture Quiz (page 18) from last December. However, the next picture quiz a bit trickier than the first; do send your efforts to Nigel Donovan who will let you know how you fared. The Convention is not so many months away now; the programme of classes is published on page 20. I would be grateful of anyone who attended the PTDAE and/or the Wessell, Nickel and Gross courses would write an account of these and send it to me for inclusion in the next issue of the Newsletter as this would be of interest to our readers. You may (but hopefully not) have noticed that we have been having some difficulties with getting the last two newsletter issues to the proof reader but fortunately these seem to have been resolved now. Typically with one problem resolved, I’m now experiencing difficulties with the software not allowing images to load properly and consequently it is taking much longer to produce the newsletter. DEADLINE FOR PTAN ARTICLES: FRIDAY 18th March 2016 Articles, letters and photos to: [email protected] or to address on page 3. Please email photographs and text separately. 4 THE PRESIDENT WRITES ANNE BURTON The deadline for Convention paperwork will be strictly adhered to this year. Please make your choice from the wonderful classes on offer and send Andrew Jamieson your booking form before 1st March; note that double Convention fees are applicable after this date, see page 20 for the Technical Classes. Rick Ohlendorf, PTA Examiner, very ably assisted by Kevin Brice, is giving the Friday afternoon class ‘How to Pass the PTA Test’ which is free of charge to any Associate or PTA Student. It’s a great opportunity for anyone considering becoming a Member to hear and see precisely what is involved. I remember attending some years ago now and repeatedly thinking “I can do that”; this had the effect of reducing my thoughts of the Test as ‘a really big thing’ to something quite manageable. With expert guidance and tuition — thank you to my mentors — (and some practice on my part) I passed! The benefits of Membership are wholly worthwhile and it is a good thing to have something to aim for and a standard to achieve. Steve Droy’s information about his course is on page 13. The PTA plans to visit the course to see staff and students and a report will appear in the next issue of the PTANews. In the Council report you will read that Yumi Shigeno has been looking through the PTA Rules and has raised some points which will be put to the Membership for voting at the AGM on Saturday 14th May at 11.30am; I hope that you will come to Barnstaple and attend the main event of the PTA year. I am looking forward to meeting those who will be brushing up their grand damper skills at Forsyths in Manchester who are kindly hosting our next Training Day and sponsoring it with Schimmel. Paul Fox has kindly organised the Factory visit to see how tuning forks are made; full details on page 17. I hope that Members will be interested and able to attend as there are so few opportunities now for visits to anything piano- related in the UK. Many thanks indeed to all those who replied to our advert and kindly offered to house the PTA Library. Council has now accepted the offer from Martin Backhouse and I’ll let you know when the library is set up in its new home. An enormous thank you to Reg Montague for having been PTA Librarian. Thank you to Tania Staite who has taken over recording PTAN to disc.

MATSUO MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS (MATSUO GAKKI SHOKAI), TOKYO BY YUMI SHIGENO It was two winters ago that I was introduced to this remarkable music establishment by Mr Kitamura (of Hibiki Tools). I was so impressed by their exceptional standards that I requested a re-visit to their workshop during my short stay in Tokyo last month with the intent of writing a report here. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by Mr Kurata, the Deputy Director of Technical Services flanked by three other technicians. This is the technical branch of Matsuo Gakki located near the centre of Tokyo, a couple of subway stops away from their main office and showroom. The space is semi- industrial, without a lot of decorations or formality. We sat around a table in the middle of the workshop and started talking. The company was founded in 1953 by Hiroshi Matsuo, then the Concert Manager of the NHK Symphony Orchestra, who was also involved in the planning of the NHK Broadcasting Centre. He was reported to have been to the UK to visit the recording studios of BBC Mr Kurata, Yumi Shigeno and two technicians during the Centre’s preparation, and seen a lot of pianos (particularly of Steinway) there. He went on to become the major importer of Steinway and Bösendorfer pianos, and the firm remained Steinway’s sole agent in Japan until 18 years ago.

  • Manual Pitch to Drop
    PITCH RAISING Your piano, just like every piano, is designed to sound its best when tuned to A-440 (the A above middle C vibrates at 440 cycles per second), the international pitch standard. It has been designed to perform at a specific tension, and when strings stretch beyond, or drop below this tension, pitch adjustments are required to bring it back to A-440. It’s important to remember that maintaining your piano at standard pitch allows you to play along with other instruments which are all designed to this same standard. Through neglect, pianos may deviate from this standard, making them unsuitable to play with other instruments and causing them to lose market value. In addition, lower pitched instruments can compromise the pianist’s ear training. It’s important to note that pianos do not go flat or sharp uniformly. Some strings will invariably change more than others. If I Haven’t Had My Piano Tuned Regularly, MANUAL How Can I Get it Back in Good Playing Condition? After years of regular use, your piano may have fallen silent when the family member who studied moved away from home. Though your home is no longer filled with music, it’s important to remember your piano is still a living, breathing thing. Its wood continues to expand and contract with seasonal changes in temperature and humidity, and the string tension also fluctuates accordingly. If your piano has gone without tuning for an extended period, its pitch may have dropped far below the pitch at which it was designed to perform.

  • Routine Maintenance for Your Spinet Piano
    The Owner's Guide to Piano Repair Focus On: Routine Maintenance for Your Spinet Piano Information provided courtesy of: Harding Piano Service (Claude M. Harding) Registered Piano Technician - Piano Technicians Guild 10 Taylor Lane Dayton, TX 77535 Phone: (936) 258-2752 Email: [email protected] As the owner of a spinet piano you have the advantage of playing on an authentic acoustic piano which is conveniently sized–approximately the same dimensions as a digital piano . A spinet is often a good option for the home owner or apartment dweller who doesn't have an abundance of space, but who wants a real piano to play. With proper maintenance, a good quality spinet piano can be a reliable instrument that provides years of musical enjoyment. Sitting down to play on a freshly tuned spinet can be a pleasant experience for beginners and more advanced pianists alike! The following information is intended to enable you to better understand the proper maintenance required to keep your spinet piano in top form. Tuning: As with any acoustic piano, following a regular tuning schedule is es- sential for a spinet piano to perform up to its potential . All pianos go out of tune over time because of a variety of factors such as seasonal swings in humidity lev- els. An important key to your spinet piano sounding its best is to keep it in proper tune by having it professionally serviced on a regular basis. An adequate tuning schedule for a piano being used frequently is a once-a-year tuning, usually sched- uled for approximately the same time of year each year.
