One technician does not need the permission of another to start up in this business. An existing technician does not own the market in a given area. Newcomers are free to compete for their market share. Why wouldn't this same reasoning apply to Ra Byn and Tara? Why can't they each be an independent contractor with their own business? I think that Tara should persue piano technology if she is interested. Although it will be convenient for her to seek help from Ra Byn along the way, I would encourage her to learn from as many different people and sources as she possibly can. There is a wealth of information as well as technicians who are happy to share what they know. This List is a great example of that.
