I'm not a technician yet, but I'm working on learning to be one (I'm not 
necessarily looking at it for a full-time position at this point, 
though).  Right now, though, I have to concentrate on college.  I do know 
Bruce Stevens and he has been a help to me sometimes.  When I do get around 
to working on the piano, I'll probably be restringing, repinning, 
rehammering, and recovering the keys at the minimum.
