Confessions of a "Lookerson"

[david at piano.plus.com]

Al, your experience is interesting, and well done to you!

But, I don't think what you say is the whole story.  I think it is largely
THE MARKET that determines the worth of piano tuning and repairs. That was
my point really. And that will vary from place to place.

I am fortunate in that I am not dependent on piano tuning for a living - I
have other work.  I am not the cheapest tuner around, and wouldn't want to
be.

But the marketplace still really sets the limit for most of us.  Density
of pianos and of piano tuners in a given area, also of professional
recording studios, concert venues, etc, will all have a bearing on the
market, as will local employment conditions and the general wealth of the
populace.

Best,

David.
