Hi Tom, Good to hear! But, you've got at least another 15 yrs with this. There are several tuners here still going at 80.

To: pianotech at ptg.org Date: Sunday, July 4, 2010, 3:33 AM List, I’m getting a really late start as a piano technician. I’ve – essentially – completed the Randy Potter Piano Technology course and have been tuning for a few months. Business is – to put it bluntly – horrible! After a flurry of interest, I’m finding it very difficult to drum up new business in the Hampton Roads, VA area. There are several RPTs and other technicians locally, but not enough – I think – to cover all the needs of the community. Since I’m 65, I don’t have a lot of time to go before I’ll just be too old to continue, but I’d like to be as effective and prolific as I can be, given my limited longevity. Any ideas on how to jump-start my business? Thanks, Tom Rhea, Jr. Rhea Piano Service -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
