    Hi all

    Does anyone have old parts and tool catalogs laying around gathering dust? Schaff? American? Pacific? Pianotek?  Catalogs were a great resource throughout the years and I still prefer mine to on line searches, even though they are outdated. The process of discovery through the physical catalog helped me to understand how to order bass strings, what tools to use, or the world of felt. I find myself in the position of informally mentoring new piano techs and would like to hand out catalogs as study material. I'd be glad to cover the cost of shipping.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I still refer to mine frequently. Scrolling online is not an efficient way to learn parts, terminology, descriptions, availability, etc. What size do I need of which style? It's all there in pictures and comparison is simplified. 
    I hope you find some for your trainees!
