Hi Gregor There is a school in Norway, but it has had many difficulties over the years trying to find the right balance in the curriculum it offers. Its hard to learn both tuning and regulation practice and theory in 2-3 years let alone try and cover rebuilding fully enough in that time period. Its future is very much in the dark. There are some who are working hard to keep it alive, but I really think it will close in some few years. It is the last pianotech school in Scandinavia I believe. Some go to Germany to enter apprenticeship at a factory. Others buy a copy of some book and just get started. Pianotech schools are becomming a thing of the past me thinks. There are a few ones left out there... but they are dwindling in numbers. Here's a curious fact for you. There is not one bonified piano dealership/store left in Stockholm Sweden ! Crazy eh ? Cheers RicB But how it´s in Norway? Everybody may market himself as tech, but how to become a tech? How to learn a complete rebuilding? Are there schools which you have to pay for? Gregor
