[pianotech] Ethics and efficacy of part-time tuning

[Gerald Groot]

I read the original posters email different so let me rephrase what I said.
If one only starts out as a part time tuner and remains the same then...


 

But, if one has learned the skills and/or semi retires or whatever, then
that's a different matter.

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.

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.
