Tuning Palermo
The Palermo Jazz Festival 2022 at the "Teatro Di Verdura" was carried out successfully thanks to the assistance and tuning of the Yamaha CFIII piano. The temperature was very high and the tuning of the piano was constantly changing. We can highlight the great concert performed by Tom Seals great pianist and singer.
Trip to Petrof Factory in Czech Republic
The tour of the plants of the Petrof Czech piano factory was a great learning experience. You can see how strings, soundboards and many other things will be manufactured. The talk given by an operator who is in charge of voicing the piano hammers stands out.
On the last day you can visit an acoustic anechoic chamber. Really impressive.
Tuning Taormina
Great concert "Opera Jazz" made by the pianist Danilo Rea at the "Teatro Antico di Taormina". The tuning of the Stainwey and sons piano was successful and the pianist played for 2 hours and a half continuously. The "Opera Jazz" is a new type of concert. Old opera concerts sung by the best lyrical singers of all time and the improvised jazz performance of the pianist are mixed.

Projects
Electric piano and pipe organ
The virtualized organ is a wooden and electronic construction. It is about emulating a pipe organ but with a synthesized or sampled sound. The development is equivalent to knowledge of electronics and information technology in addition to manual skills for construction.
The Portable Organ in this case is a hybrid between a midi controller (small keyboard) and a Yamaha digital piano. For more information visit: hackaday.io
