Baroque on Beaver: Meet the Piano!

Post by Matthew Thomas »

Please join us Friday, August 4 at 11:00 a.m. in the
BI Community School Gym:

Bill Schneider, piano restorer and master technician, will be discussing the Mason and Hamlin piano that the Beaver Island Cultural Arts Association purchased this year. Bill knows the history of this gorgeous instrument, and was pivotal in its acquisition. Heâ??ll explain all the work that goes into keeping a concert grand piano â??concert ready.â?￾ Youâ??ll learn about voicing, tuning, the importance of humidity control and why no two pianos are exactly alike.

This is an informal presentation, more a conversation than a lecture. Billâ??s knowledge of pianos in general, and of this one in particular, is detailed and fascinating. Please join us â?? youâ??ll hear the Mason and Hamlin even more clearly!
