UK piano tech courses

[Allen Wright]

David,

When I look up the Lincoln College and also Metropolitan University  
websites, I don't find any mention of piano tech courses. I'm curious  
what makes you say there are such - maybe I'm just not looking at the  
right place, but are you sure the courses are indeed up and running?

Best regards,

Allen Wright, RPT
