Meeting called to order at 8:14 PM. The members present held a vote which determined that Google Groups will be the primary method of communication for the chapter moving forward. However, all important messages such as monthly chapter meeting announcements will still be posted to both the Google Groups and the MyPTG Discussion Board, to ensure everyone has adequate opportunity to see them.

The plan for upcoming chapter meetings, as well as the potential locations for the Christmas Party and Annual State Seminar were also discussed, though planning is still ongoing.

Technical Presentation

Matthew S. Brown, RPT

  • Matthew Brown gave an in-depth lesson on the procedures for repairing, installing, and aligning agraffes as a part of the piano rebuilding process. This included a hands on demonstration of how to remove broken agraffes from the plate while taking care to not damage the threads and create a larger issue.
