And he is still trying to do what he could when he was 30 years younger.  

Do you think you will ever make it, André?

Learn to drop your shoulders, use ear plugs to reduce ear fatigue and occasionally
use a 125mm stick with hammer felt glued to the ends to pound on the strings. less
hand and shoulder stress.

Practice, practice and more practice.

We all did piano shaped objects (PSOs) in our youth, every one does, and has to, so
stop complaining and hurry up and get old.

I am 61, tuning pianos for 35 years and getting slower, and slower, and slower ...
