I felt something that nothing in life has given me since I don't know when... It was such a rush that I have not played a piano with such enthusiasm as that day last week. I had taken an old silent piece of wood and metal and breathed life into it. It was such an experience and rush ! Well I'm looking for another piano to learn it's secrets. I hope I can meet new friends on this list and can share my future experiences and learn from yours.

The same feeling comes over me every time I finish tuning a piano, or completely rebuilding one. That feeling of total satisfaction. Good luck in your endeavors. Plan to attend the Florida State Seminar April 9-12 in Daytona, (contact Walter Pearson, (04)225-4804. and look into coming up to Arlington this summer for the Annual PTG Convention and Institute. (Contact the PTG home office). As far as a correspondence course, seriously look into Randy potter's course. It is a combination of practical and book learning that I think will help you greatly. Good luck. Willem Blees
