Dear List, I wonder if any of you can help. I live in London and am looking for a technician or workshop willing to give me some training and experience rebuilding pianos. I am thirty years old with a background as a pianist. I have a degree in music (for what it's worth) and presently work as a freelance music copyist. I'm basically looking for a change of direction which is fulfilling even if it won't make me rich! It seems that the training options here in the UK are somewhat limited. For the time being, I'm less interested in earning a living tuning pianos and more interested in getting experience doing restoration work which I feel is best learned in a workshop. I am looking for experience more than I am looking for paid work. Does anyone out there know of a good technician or workshop in or around London who might be able to give me some encouragement or advice? I follow the list with much interest and wish that I could find the same level of helpfulness and enthusiasm from people here in the UK as there is in the US and other parts of the world. Maybe I've been talking to the wrong people :) Any encouragement would be welcome! Alan Morrison
