Are you actually addressing my comments??? I think you've grossly missed my point. The original question was whether or not doing this part time was ok. I merely said that all of us do it part time at some point even if it's while we're building a business (or not) therefore it's ok. I don't really care if people have 15 jobs and one of them is tuning pianos. Take a deep breath.

Are you saying that if a person has a job, he shouldn't do piano tuning on the side? If so, you are completely wrong. If a person wants to do piano tuning on the side, to make extra money for his family, then he should. If his work is inferior, then he will not get a call back, and another tuner will get the work. Then again, he could be doing, for example, the Randy Potter course, and doesn't want to let his full time job go, until he is sure that he can make it as a tuner.

There is a view that if you are not tuning full-time you will not maintain your skill at a high enough level. Best regards, David.
