[pianotech] Ethics and efficacy of part-time tuning

[Gerald Groot]

All of us started out tuning part time but, some of us chose to go into it
full time.  As a supplimented income only, if that is the plan, then
personally, I don't believe continuing to tune only part time will provide
enough time to learn what needs to be accomplished to do quality work.

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.
