Adriatic Reverie

A Story of the People, Nature, and Culture of Croatia's Kvarner, 2nd ed. by Zdenko Velčić

Adriatic Reverie explores Croatian Kvarner, possibly the last authentic culture in all of the Mediterranean, taking us on a journey of traditions, crafts, and social bonds as they existed before and during the great transformation of the 20th century. But Velčić doesn’t only recount the past—he takes us into a grassy field, under a sprawling oak tree, to the summit of an island. He even takes us fishing, seeking spiritual fulfillment as much as the thrill of a good catch. As Velčić helps us observe the most ordinary in a butterfly, a wild asparagus plant, and an eel, he transports us into a world that has become invisible to most of us. Soon we realize that we are meditating in a reality in which the past and present are one, and in which we are a little closer to our true nature.

Hailed as a "monumental work" by the Europiano Magazine and "the most ambitious book on piano technology ever written" by Piano Technicians Journal, Pianos Inside Out "fills a crying need, bringing together some of the advances in the past three decades as part of a comprehensive treatment of the profession, and trying to make things accessible to non-technicians" (Fred Sturm, RPT, pianist and piano technician, University of New Mexico).

Our Projects

Agramerski rječnik

Dictionary of the Zagreb dialect

Agramerski rječnik is a dictionary of words used in Zagreb, Croatia, derived from German as spoken in Vienna. It's no surprise that Zagreb borrowed so many words from the Viennese dialect considering the strength of centuries-long cultural and educational ties with Vienna. The dictionary is work in progress. We encourage you to contribute additional words or phrases via links on the dictionary page.

The Art of Tuning

By Claude Montal, translated by Fred Sturm, RPT

This is the earliest comprehensive text on piano tuning, design, action regulation, and repair, first published in France in 1836. The Art of Tuning is fascinating in the directness of its style and unrestricted sharing of information in an age when information was often treated as trade secret and a source of competitive advantage. This treatise is especially impressive considering that Claude Montal, a piano manufacturer with multiple patents and trade awards, was completely blind. Montal worked with Louis Braille on the writing system for the blind, and worked relentlessly on promoting the education and employment of blind piano technicians. In the Art of Tuning he includes comprehensive guidelines for training people who are blind and visually impaired.
