[pianotech] Ethics and efficacy of part-time tuning

[Ben Gac]

The question could open up a whole can of worms, but I'd have to conclude this: There are piano technicians with very good skills who work only part time in this profession, and there are plenty of BAD piano technicians who do the work full time!  On an individual basis, we can only only hope that all of us can strive to "render the best possible service under the circumstances" all of the time--especially as members of the PTG! (those quotations were referencing the PTG's code of ethics)

What do you think about the ethics and the efficacy of doing piano tuning
and repair as a part-time business when a person has another source of
income?

There is a view that if you are not tuning full-time you will not maintain
your skill at a high enough level.

Best regards,

David.
