The hard part is that over that period you build up a clientele of = friends as well as customers (intermixed) and knowing that the only = other piano tuner ? in town is in it for the money only and can't do his = job anyway makes it even harder. I have, in Darwin over 700 customers = that I have to say that I will come back a couple of times to keep = everything going and hopefully another respectable tuner will come to = town to look after it. I am moving to Adelaide to start all over again which is quite a = daunting task at the age of 64 but it is also exciting to be going back = to where pianos are not steam baked in our super tropical climate. Its = going to be an experience to work on and tune pianos that are in a = relative stable climate again. (I might even remember what it is like to = tune a piano in 40 minutes again). So if I have been a little terse with some of you may understand that = I have been confused about many things for some time however, this list = is the closest thing I have had to guild meeting of piano tuners or just = companionship from fellow trades persons that can joke (hopefully only = occasionally) but carry on conversations, in and out of the trade, that = are worthwhile. Naturally I am carrying on as a subscriber but for the next few weeks = I expect to be rather busy.
