[CAUT] beginning luck

[Tim Kuipers]

Wim,

Thanks for your reply- I'm based in central Michigan. I've been tuning for 5
years, have done work for numerous college and universities, but mostly
through Alex Kapteyn, Central Michigan Pianos. If I'm correct, there seems
to be a higher level of versatility & requirements for a university
technician due to (among others) the frequent practicing & performances.
