This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Quentin, Good question. I started as a piano tech after my "first" career went south or east/west, LOL. I was a computer tech and most of the jobs went outside of the US, so the job pool of available positions in my field were few and there were many high paid out of work computer techs like myself out of work for long periods of time. A good friend encouraged me to look into piano tuning and the rest is history. I found that I love this profession better than what I was doing before. I'm glad that I am changing careers from Information Technology to "Piano Technology". I guess you could say from the survey I'm the 2nd youngest guy here at 35, I'm glad I started when I did. I have 4 young boys, who are interested in what I am doing and want to learn the profession to. So I hope to bring my sons into the field as they grow older.

Hi, So, according to all the replies you've sent, I can deduce that I'm the youngest tech of the list ! So I was not wrong when I said I was a young tech, don't you think ;-) ?? BTW, at what age did each of you began learning this profession? It looks like some people have started in this business after stopping another activity. For those who became techs after a first career, what did this first career consist in? What was your job? I'm just curious about this! This is interesting.
