9:30 am-1:00 pm: Tuning Ergonomics Masterclass 
During this traditional hands-on technical Masterclass, Timothy Barnes, RPT, with over 20+ years experience, will work directly with individual participants to identify challenges and constructively improve each participant's tuning hammer technique, tuning stability, and body ergonomics. We will be covering material related to tuning hammer technique, tuning stability, and body ergonomics while also addressing all of the physical limitations of each participant’s personal tuning hammer & body ergonomics (height, wing-span, hand size, prior injuries, etc.), dominate hand preferences (right, left, ambidextrous), and preferred position (sitting or standing). If you want more tuning efficiency, less pain, and more confidence that your tunings are rock solid, this is the class for you!
