[pianotech] Traveling tuner

[Brian Trout]

I'm not a traveling tuner... well, at least not like you're referring to... I still do tune the occasional piano.  And I live fulltime in a "camper" as you call it.  I will admit, my "camper" is considerably larger than the pop-up or tiny trailer pulled by the family sedan that comes to mind when you say, "camper".  I have about as much room as a small apartment and am quite comfortable. 
 
Though there are many RVs out there smaller then mine, (mine being a 39' fifth wheel w/ 4 slides and a rear deck) there are also RVs out there that are larger and way more plush than mine.  I've been living in an RV for several years now.  I'm quite contented to do so.  And when the neighborhood or the weather is not to my liking, my home is on wheels.  It could easily move for jobs, piano tuning or otherwise.
 
Different strokes for different folks, as they say.

 ...Back in the early '90's, I did some tuning in Southeaster Colorado and Northeastern New Mexico. At that time I heard about a traveling tuner who served the small towns on the Great Plains. He was more or less like a migrant worker, tuning pianos in the south in the winter moths, and traveling north in the summer. I guess it's not a bad way to earn a living, if you don't mind living out of a camper all the time.
