​​​​Regulation Class Videos

Here, I will post videos of the live online regulation classes that I give.

The first classes are on the basics of piano action design and then we move quickly into regulation with an emphasis on the steps listed in the highly popular Reblitz book.

In these classes we look at the regulation steps from a pragmatic point of view. We use the Modified Reblitz Regulation Steps for Upright Piano and the Modified Reblitz Regulation Steps for ​Grand Piano and discuss which steps may not need to be done and which should not be done and why.

These classes loosely follow the class syllabus in my Repair Class Manual which you can download for free.
