Piano tuning training

[Charles Neuman]

I am currently taking the Randy Potter course. I've never heard a 
negative comment about the technical content, the level of instruction, 
or the value, and now I see why. I agree with others that joining the 
PTG and attending chapter meetings is valuable as well. I've never been 
to the annual convention (yet), but my mouth waters when I read what 
goes on there!

As for aptitude, I didn't want to shell out the bucks for the Potter 
course without first knowing if I'd suck at it or not. So I bought a 
copy of Reblitz's book and a cheap tuning hammer and started practicing. 
I wanted to know if I could really hear those subtle beats. Now I'm 
learning it more thoroughly with the Potter course, and I realize that I 
wasn't using the best technique before. I'm not sure if this should 
really be the recommended approach, but it worked for me.
