Not a license to tune pianos, a license to do business. Sell your services, take clients' money, buy and sell pianos, etc. Every time money goes from one person to another, a state has the legal right to demand a portion of it.

Since when are piano tuners required to be licensed? Unless you are referring to a *resale* license with the SBE, but for strictly piano tuning, no license is required. http://education-portal.com/piano_technician_training.html "Licenses and Certifications Piano technicians are not required to be licensed. The PTG offers the industry's only regulated credentials, available to its members. Qualified piano technicians who pass three technical exams can obtain Registered Piano Technician (RPT) credentials. Although RPT certification is not required, it is typically an important selling point for self-employed piano technicians pursuing clients."

Please help! Check with Syd Stone. He had a license form the city of Hayward, Ca. When a nearby city told him he needed a license for their city, too. He took it to court and won. One license was sufficient. If you want to know any details, ask him, not me. I told you all I know. ---Tom Gorley In a message dated 7/15/10 10:22:42 AM, pwilliams4 at unlnotes.unl.edu writes: David, I was always curious that if we are licensed in the city in which we live as well as the state, do we also have to have a license for all the surrounding cities in which we work? (It doesn't matter now, since I'm a CAUT), but I didn't ever know if I was bending some sort of law living in Clinton, WA, but doing business all around Puget Sound.
