Default Lars Tuning For Beer Chicago this Spring...

I am in need of Lars to come and give my 69 a good tuning. I have tried his tuning papers and I understand them in theory but I must not have the proper finesse because I sure cannot seem get it running correctly.

So....who else is in the same boat? Only need three or four more folks.

Regards,

Jay

Hey griffths,

I'm in Ames, IA. If you set up for Lars to come to the midwest, I'd be up for that. I have a friend in Chicago i can stay with.
I too have the papers from lars, but lack the practical experience to do the job correctly.

Count me in.

Sent Lars an email yesterday asking about his availability. I will let you guys know when I hear back. Hopefully he can squeeze us in sooner than later.

I have received your e-mail and request for the TFB Tour to Chicago - haven't had a chance to put together a detailed response, but will get you some info out by this weekend.

Basically, this spring is booked solid, and most of the available summer dates have also been taken. There are just a few weekend dates still available, and I'll get you those dates, but people are currently reserving dates for early fall. The weekend of May 7th is still open, and after that, I have solid commitments for every available weekend through August... I better get me a backup timing light in case I wear out the light bulb! I also have to limit and chose the events that I do, because every event costs me a significant amount of money to put on, and my financial resources only go so far.

I'll get you a complete info package out - this will include my phone number so we can talk a little about getting a good event put together.

Get notified of new replies

No. I still need to speak with Lars but it sounds the only day he MIGHT have available is either in May or late Fall.
