God, Wim, when are going to stop twisting my words and sentences around for YOUR use and purposes (this is a main reason 
I dislike you !!!!!)

Becoming an RPT - CAN NOT DIRECTLY correlate to having a better clientele and better pianos.

It's 99% about your area. As YOU should know, there are so-so, high end (like Ladue, Chesterfield, etc) and down-right 
"dumpy" areas of St. Louis - AND - I've had some tunings from ALL these AREAS..........

AS A MATTER OF FACT, Wim, I - HAVE - ALREADY - worked on better pianos with a better clientele.

Example, a lady that, is retired now, use to play for the St. Louis Symphony and I tuned her previously yearly 
maintained piano (her previous "aural" tuner left St. Louis) with one pass with Cybertuner and she loved it and she is 
on my schedule for this year - as a returning "yearly" tuning !!!!!

Your statement is TOTAL BULLSHIT - and - you of all people SHOULD know this.

Now I'm done - unless - you start more BULLSHIT................
