Yes, PTG has.  I have seen surveys and the results published although I do 
not have them at hand.  From what I remember, only a minority work as Piano 
Technicians who primarily service pianos on site and do not rebuild or do 
some other kind of work and yet make substantial incomes (over $50,000 
annually).
