About five years ago I was interested in piano tuning, and saw an ad in the back of some music magazine that I got from my local music store. The ad was for the above mentioned course, entitled "Strictly Tuning the Acoustic Piano", by Ron Van Hoose, in Virginia Beach, VA. I took this course and got a certificate. Anyone who is interested in my LONG review of this course may write to me at DAVander@aol.com. Sincerely, David A.
