[pianotech] I'm interested in becoming a piano tuner/technician

OR, they don't have time.  Taking on an apprentice is time consuming.  I'm not saying it's not worthwhile, but it is a big time commitment.

As to why no one appeared to want to help you, it is a matter of economics. 
There are only so many pianos, in your area, and an extra tuner, who would probably charge less while learning, might have an effect on their bottom line.

Hello everyone.

I live in Edmonton, Alberta Canada, and I've been e-mailing and phoning various piano technicians locally and offering to pay them to answer some questions and show me some techniques. No one is interested in doing this for pay, and I'm not exactly sure why.
