Go get em Bill....grin.. gotta say tho... on the Snuggels account I gotta tend to aggree.. sounds a bit squishy to me. But then given the fact that almost no one really learns in any formal fashion just about anything about working on pianos.... and given the fact that the only control mechanism for overseeing proffesional standards is a volunteer organization like the PTG and the like... what else can we expect. Like it or not Bill, until there is some manditory education and examination process... this kinda thing is going to keep popping up. Perhaps that is just as well, but I personally doubt it. There is so much that we really should have to know, and quite frankly the information is out there. I have never been able to comprehend the difficulty in aggreeing upon a reasonable cirriculum and testing proceedure. And given the possibilities our data age opens... that difficulty increases each year. Why so many countries, like America (tho you are far from alone in this) insist on allowing just any old Sam, Jill, or Mary to pick up a tool box and call themselves a piano tuner, or a auto mechanic or what have you, and then turn around and complain all the time about the lack of proffesionalism... I will never quite understand. My Fellow Eartlings... let me make this perfectly clear.... er... wheres my soap box ?
