stringing supplies

[Farrell]

Terry:

I took the Randy Potter course. It was very very good. It does a very good
job of putting the "whole darn thang" together in one complete package. I
have been in business full time 2 years now (I went from 0 - 60 in 6 months)
and still find myself referring back to course materials for answers to some
basic questions. I have two undergraduate degrees and a masters degree in
the natural sciences - I think I have a fair idea of what constitutes as
good educational package. I really believe that a course such as the Potter
course will be invaluable to you or anyone else! That's my two cents worth!
Good luck!

part time, and have been tuning at a local college. I have read Reblitz's
book, and other's. I have a SAT II, hammer, tools, parts, plus videos from
Jim Coleman, SR., (except piano wire; hence my question.)

have learned a GREAT DEAL from this list, and I thank everyone who has been
willing to share their knowledge with me! Sometimes I like to get different
opinions on  a variety of piano/tech related questions, because it helps me
to make more informed decisions, plus I find it very interesting and
educational.

correspondence courses, which I'm sure have their merits, but I am very
happy, and prefer working directly with my mentor, and LOTS of pianos!
