[pianotech] Ethics and efficacy of part-time tuning

[Leslie Bartlett]

I have always been a part-time tuner, and I have done more concert work 
than I could ever imagined. It comes to me. I don't solicit such. I have 
simply worked diligently and honestly. I did three concert venues in two 
days last week. Jim Geiger, who taught me used to say, "There are tuners 
with 30 years' experience, and tuners with one year's experience, 
repeated 30 times." One's philosophy makes a huge difference.  After 
all, it's "only another piano" if one has learned his skills.
