I am a technician with 40 plus years of experience working on Steinway concert pianos.
The approach to damper replacement and regulation taught by Stefan Fritz provides a thorough methodology allowing one to achieve ultimate perfection in concert damper replacement and subsequent regulation.
I considered myself a decently-skilled damper installer and regulator before attending; however Stefan’s methods and comprehensive understanding of the obvious and underlying issues surrounding this ever-so-important aspect of concert piano maintenance have transformed my reticence to eagerness in addressing damper work. No more guess work damper work!
Stefan has created a wonderful atmosphere in which to learn and improve on one’s skills making the entire experience of attending the seminar a memorable pleasure.
Thank-you Stefan,–I cannot say enough good things about the Fritz Academy!
