"Ear Witness" Account of Solenoid Piano Demo
By Karl Ellison
I am a good friend and a prior customer of Charlie Hubert of "Hubert
Tuning and Repair" in New Britain, Connecticut. He was the one who
re-veneered and restrung my piano when I lived in CT. He attended the
Hartford Chapter of the Piano Technicians Guild Meeting last month
where Douglas Henderson was making an "ear witness" presentation.
Here's Charlie's comments:
> My father and I did attend Mr. Henderson's technical in Hartford
> concerning the "ear witness" test. It was very interesting and he
> made many convincing demonstrations. Doug is quite a guy and has
> really devoted his life to the player piano. My father and I have
> installed a number of Piano Disc units and have found many of the CDs
> "wanting". We never really knew why some songs played beautifully
> and others missed notes, with poor rhythm, etc.
