[CAUT] looking for an tuning position for my student

[Wigent, Donald E, Jr]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know of an entry level tuning position? I have a student that is doing very good work and she would like to find a nice entry level job. I have been working with her for 3 years and she is very talented and hard working. A fast learner. Contact me if you hear of something.

Thanks,
Don Wigent

Hi Jim,

I'll give that a shot when my tuning pin supplies come in.  Good idea.  I've never used it on 1/0 by 2" tuning pins. Have you had any experience using one of the oblong heads?
