ratio?

[LTpianoman@AOL.COM]

Terry,
The number of pianos (averaged out) is about 9% of the given population. You 
can extrapolate from there for any given area, be it local or on a larger 
scale, if you know how many tuners are in that same area. Of course, I'm sure 
there are more pianos per capita in certain areas than others, but this 9% is 
just an average. 
(Or...maybe I read it wrong! Corrective posts welcomed)

Anyone know how many tuners in the US?
