5000 would take about five years, or ten, depending.  What really
counts is learning and observation.  If one did 2 a day 10 per week
for 50 weeks there would be 500 pianos and at $70 per tuning that
is about $35,000.  _I_ didn't do that well my first year out of
school.  Well, maybe I did because I worked for a dealer who had
about 500 pianos out on rental, floor tunings, customer tuning, for
a year before I began teaching.
