[pianotech] Traveling tuner

Greetings list,

Today I stopped by one of the local music instruction businesses to introduce myself and drop off some cards, make some contacts, etc.

The owner told me that they already have a tuner that comes by once or twice a year (I can't remember which he said...), but on a regular schedule.

The interesting part is that the tuner is from Texas!  Realize that I live in Southern California.  They told me this tuner travels around and is booked up to a year in advance, traveling all over the country to tune.

Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?  Or maybe it's one of us on the list?  Talk about a mileage charge...  :-) I'd be curious how this tuner runs a successful business with a perceived high level of overhead (food, gas, lodging, etc.).  Or maybe he operates out of a motorhome?  Nonetheless, it seemed like an intriguing concept if not somewhat impractical, for me at least.

The good news is that they put all my information in their system for referrals to their clients.  :-)

Regards,

Rob McCall
