[CAUT] history of the tuning profession

[Laurence Libin]

I'm sorry about the bad link. The NYC directory material has been published along with the 1835 Book of Prices of the N-Y Society of Journeymen Piano-Makers; I can send an order form off-list to anyone who's interested, or just post it here if it's not against the rules.

  Thanks Laurence-

  I looking forward to reading that all later.  If it is published I'd be happy to support the cause with a purchase, but I don't see that option and clearly they don't want it copied.  I tried the Gill Green contact link, but that is no longer effective.  

  best,

  Dennis.

    Google <gill green tuner history> for some notes on the subject. The 1835 New York City directory lists five men who identified themselves as tuners: Augustus Brumley, Levi Dederer, Theodore Marschhausen ("Professor of tuning"), David Peek, and James Pirsson, but there must have been many more. All were probably part-timers. I have more info on the NY scene if anyone's interested.
