What Richard Roberts is doing is completely different. RIchard is not on a tuning trip to anywhere. He LIVES without a home, on the streets of London. During the day he earns a living as a piano tuner, with, like any of us, his regular clients. At night, he finds a place to sleep, in any of a large variety of locations outside. He runs his website and Blog from his smartphone. it is an interesting and determined lifestyle choice based partly on a rebellion against property prices in London. He is, in fact, a homeless person. On a page of his website you can see a photo of the compact basic kit of tolls and parts that he carries with him. http://www.piano-tuning.co.uk/stuff/ His Blog is at http://www.piano-tuning.co.uk/blog/ It is well written and copiously illustrated with photos.
