The last survey wasn't put out by the PTG. It was put out by a 
teacher's organization. It was basically asking who our clients are, 
and what level of playing they had. There was almost nothing related 
to income of piano tuners. 

Three years ago the Board asked the Economic Affairs Committee, of 
which I am a member, to put together an income survey. Randy Potter 
and I spent a considerable amount of time on it. It was given to the 
Board, but to my knowledge, nothing was ever done with it. (someone 
from the Board care to comment?)
 
The only other income survey that I remember was taken about 10 or 12 
years ago. But it didn't cover the details Randy I put together.
