Piano tuning training

[Wayne R. Lutzow]

Wayne Lutzow here...

I'm taking the Potter Course also and am about half way through...

Have never done this before but having a great time...

I've been following the posts here for a few months now and figure it's
about time to chime in...

Have had a great deal of help just from watching the posts...

Joined the PTG in Sacramento about three months ago and am meeting some fine
people...

Look forward to hearing more from everyone and eventually meeting some of
you...

Thanks for your help...


Wayne
