This is good advice from Joe here, and the way that a lot of techs break =
into the business. Try to get friendly with a local dealer, where you =
can go in and tune the floor pianos when you can, since nobody owns them =
yet, you're not going to get criticized if you make some mistakes on =
one, the schedule would probably be whenever you can get around to doing =
the tuning, and you might even get pointers from any other techs they =
have around.
Occassionally, the store owner may have pianos that need regulation work =
done on them, and this would be an excellent way to learn that end of it =
also.

p.s.   Don't let a dealer get behind in your payments. I know of one =
tech who had a dealer owe him $4K, and then he went out of =
business.............
