2+2=3 ..?

[David ilvedson]

I had a years training a Western Iowa Tech, which I believe is 
now defunct.  I then worked with a technician in SF for a 
number of years.  I think following a good course like R. 
Potters, working with an experienced technician in the shop 
and field and involvement in the PTG has the potential to 
produce a good piano technician.  No matter how you go about it, 
it will take at least 5 years experience to get there.
