The official training manual for the Rapid Voicer System. No other system like this for piano hammer voicing has ever been taught in the piano technician industry. The goal of this training manual is to instruct you on the proper use of the Rapid Voicer tools and give you the insight you need to become an extremely good piano hammer voicer. Includes pictures and descriptions of in-depth voicing techniques. This book was compiled and written by Eric Michael Roberts using audio interviews and private mentoring sessions with Dr. Jack P. Hamilton, the creator of the Rapid Voicer System. I have collected this information over the past 30 years and have used it at our piano store to voice thousands of pianos. At our store, these techniques have successfully assisted in the sale of millions of dollars of pianos from coast to coast. I personally know other great technicians who have tested the Rapid Voicer tools, and I have received wonderful testimonials from them about their success. They report that it is the quickest way they have ever been able to perform voicing and produce exactly what they want every time. This system provides you with the tools and methods to perform extremely accurate voicing in a fraction of the time required by other methods and it works wonderfully on any type or brand of piano. Once you learn, test, and embrace this method you will have an immediate advantage in the field of piano technology and voicing. - Dr. Jack P. Hamilton
