David Anderson, our co-host, turns guest today. He has been in the industry for decades, has made nearly every mistake, and has acquired so much excellent knowledge along the way. He calls this failing upwards. "Be bad first; you're never going to get better without it. It's the gateway to success" David shares how to get over gripping and paralyzing fear when trying something new. He also takes on questions about cushions of air under strike points, puck sounds of the jack hitting the spoon, and action alignment based on sound. If you want to get deep into the weeds with David and hear him talk about all the obscure and lesser-known details of piano tuning, tune into this session! Here's a little bit about our host David Andersen: David Andersen, owner of David Andersen pianos in Los Angeles has been a professional musician, recording artist, and piano technician/consultant for nearly four decades.
