But it's not hopeless! If memory serves me well, the PTG has a slim  
publication which outlines how to put together a presentation for  
your local piano teachers' association. It's an opportunity to  
educate them as to proper piano maintenance, what a grand action  
looks like, how to remove the fallboard to extract pencils, etc.  
Distribute various PTG pamphlets, perhaps some Dampp-Chaser  
literature, a listing of your chapter's RPT members if you're  
altruistic,  or your own business card if you're just "looking out  
for #1."
Sure, you haven't reached the teachers who don't take part in their  
professional organization, but it's a great start!
