That's where I got a LOT of my early training/experience, whatever, about 30 yrs. ago. Fortunately, the dealer was also a tech, plus he had another tech working out of the store, so I always had help when I needed it! >While I often whine about lack of prep of pianos by dealers, without the >stores that I do work for, I'd be up an odiferous creek without means of >propulsion. So have I, but once in a while we get lucky and end up with a dealer who's interested in quality work and is willing to pay a fairly reasonable rate for it. I do some work for one now, when I can get away from the university. My income would be appreciably less if it weren't for him! >Just an idea, A good one! >Dave Stahl Avery ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
