Grand pianos maintenance "hike" at the bottom of the Mont-Blanc: Bosendorfer, Pleyel & Steinway. According to its present owner this Steinway "S" has, from Berlin, escaped Adolph's deadly furor, and has survived Joseph's madness in Moscow. It's now singing at the bottom of the Mont-Blanc.

DIABOLUS IN MUSICA: A bell tower quarrels between the Parish and the town council, plunges the team of the www.musique-patrimoine-mtblanc.com into the fog of uncertainty, leaving them without an answer. Board members of cultural affairs and cult affairs could not tune to the same pitch!
DIABOLUS IN MUSICA: 
Sad news, but wise decision!
It's a shame that some petty bell tower quarrels between the Parish and the town council, plunges the team of the 
Festival Rencontres Musique et Patrimoine du Mont-Blanc https://https://www.musique-patrimoine-mtblanc.com/ 
into the thick fog of uncertainty, leaving them, shortly before the opening, without an answer to the question 
"Will the piano be able to remain in the choir for the duration of the concerts, as has been the case at each 
previous edition since 2009?
It’s a pity that the board members of cultural affairs from Saint Gervais les Bains and those in charge of 
the cult affairs from Saint Nicolas de Véroce could not tune their voices to the same pitch!
Dismaying for the Festival team, and the musicians, regrettable for the public, the festivalgoers, 
the technical team, the music, and the patrimony!
A warm solidarity thought of support for Angélique Fourel and Nicole Simon Laroche, and their team, who, 
together, worked tirelessly ahead of the opening of the event, on which the curtain has just fallen.
Could the intervention of a mediator, prior to the venue of an exorcist priest, have changed the issue?

Suite à un excès d'humidité, l'exagération du galbe de la table d'harmonie induit une tension supplémentaire, et provoque la casse des vis du contre-sillet. Due to added tension of the strings, linked to a drastic humidity increase, some screws of the pressure bar gave up the ghost....
URGENCE: Allo docteur! Mon piano est très faux à partir de la 5ème octave.
Suite à une grosse "claque thermique" engendrant un excès d'humidité, la table d'harmonie s'est exagérément galbée, induisant une tension supplémentaire des cordes, et provoquant la casse des vis du contre-sillet.

Les fluctuations climatiques affectent les instruments à cordes. Les phénomènes sévères de "yoyo" les condamnent!

Quart d’heure warholien ou « 15 minutes of fame »



quart_d_heure_warholien_15 minutes_of_fame

Pas de panneau indicateur sur la RD, pas d’enseigne sur la devanture de l’atelier situé au fond de l’impasse; on aurait du mal à savoir qu’il existe et du mal à le trouver!

Juste une indication sur google map qui géolocalise l’artisan et son atelier «Arpège piano service» et le référencement de son site web : www.arpege-piano.net

C’est peut-être qu’il ne cherche pas à se faire connaître davantage ou que le bouche à oreille suffit à faire circuler l’information sur la qualité de son travail.

Installé à Veyrier début des années 1980, Christian Bourg exerce son métier au service des musiciens et de leurs pianos, en travaillant exclusivement sur rendez-vous. Il est discret malgré sa stature et son allure de bûcheron canadien. Massif, à l’image des pianos qu’il transporte, délicat à l’image de ses activités d’artisan d’art.

Sa mission : entretien, réglage, accord, harmonisation et réparation des pianos de tout type et de tout âge, tant pour les particuliers que les institutions, tant pour les amateurs que les professionnels.

Alors qu’adolescent, c’est à l’occasion des nombreux tours du lac dominicaux, à la pédale, dans la roue de son oncle Raymond Dugas, facteur de pianos à Lyon, que celui-ci lui met le diapason à l’oreille, puis l’initie au métier de technicien du piano. Un artisanat d’art qui, dit-il, s’exerce derrière le rideau, pour lequel l’écoute et la concentration sont primordiales, où la patience est indispensable.

Parce que constitué à plus de 80% de matériaux hygroscopiques, un piano vit et subit les changements climatiques au fil des saisons. Chaque variation de température et hygrométrie, affecte son toucher (en changeant les rapports de levier du millier de pièces articulées que sont le clavier, la mécanique, les étouffoirs et le pédalier), bouscule sa justesse (car modifiant la géométrie du bloc lutherie). Rides ou fentes des bois de lutherie atrophient s…
