Peter, If you haven't already checked this resource out it might help: http://www.ptg.org/caut.php/guidlines_pg.htm DP Dale Probst, RPT Registered Piano Technician Midwestern State University -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Peter Sumner Sent: Friday, May 21, 2010 1:57 PM To: caut at ptg.org Subject: [CAUT] Help in maintaining performance and faculty instruments... I am in the early stages of researching a project and would welcome some feedback.... There are a number of questions in mind as to how hard pressed CAUT technicians find the time to keep performance and faculty instruments in good shape... Primarily though I'm interested in finding out at what point do they (you) decide to seek out another pair of hands. Budgets being what they are, it seems like many, if not all, are between a rock and a hard place.....perhaps sharing how these things are handled will be of benefit as cash will be hard won in the near term and possibly for longer. I'm not asking anyone to breach confidences here....but I have only worked in the CAUT field as an independent contractor and know very little about how those in 'employed' situations find kindred spirits and capable help when it can be afforded. Thanking you in anticipation. Peter Sumner Redwood City California.
