[pianotech] Lost business

[Paul T Williams]

Bingo!  When I lived in Washington state, I didn't even have a basement. 
No shop or anything.  I found a very generous tech who has an enormous 
shop who openly let me bring in pianos for no charge. (Thank you, Roger!!) 
 I'm sure that Duaine could figure out a way to do that as well in his 
area.

Conventions are more than learning.   You connect with other 
technicians...you make friends...maybe someone with space in their shop. 
No local chapter?
