Please forgive me for reposting from this date in 2018…I have very little more to say than I said then.  Remember the Rochester NY convention, with Rebuilders Row and the wonderful performances on their pianos?  And Ron Overs’ piano, all the way from Australia?  I couldn’t pick a favorite…but three of them particularly spoke to me…Dave Andersen’s C, Dale Erwin’s B (or was it a D?) and Ron Nossaman’s B.  Different, yes, but each one a superior instrument in its own right.  And Ron’s big smile when talking about it…unforgettable.

We lost him four years ago today…gone too soon but having made a big impression on all of us.

 

We’ll reflect on him…I do, often.

 

Cheers!

On this date we lost Ron Nossaman, one of the brightest, most probing minds in the pianotech world...possibly the whole world. Can it have been two years? I still expect to see his shared knowledge, his willing advice and his well-known biting wit! Every time I was fortunate enough to meet him, he was unfailingly cordial. An act, I wondered? No...Ron never acted. He could be an antagonist, especially when dealing with “conventional wisdom,” but he was also a kind person, an honest person, a friend. He continues to be missed.

Yes, Stan: I, too, remember him well. On one occasion I contacted him directly on some item not entirely “on topic” and he took the time to respond fully and respectfully. He was the “salt of the earth”.

J. Stanley Ryberg,

As do I. Even though Ron and I were adversaries from time to time. I greatly respected his skill, intellect and inginuity(?). I often quote him or use his tools with my Associates. His name should always be remembered and honored. Since his passing this list has pretty much disappeared. That is sad.

Best wishes for a better and happier 2021,

Joe Garrett
