Wang,
	Get together with the other unhappy students, and put it in writing.
Create a paperwork trail. Is this tech a PTG member? Our local univ. puts
the piano work out to bid, and we taught them to include RPT requirements
in the bid requests.
	This fellow may be really good, given the right incentives. We now know
what YOU need and want, wonder what the tech might need in order to satisfy
you. His contract could be such that he's DONATED hundreds of hours, over
the years, whenever he serviced for student recitals. He MAY only get well
compensated when tuning for guest artists, or something.
ramblerambleramble.....anyway, the point is to think about giving the tech
the benefit of a doubt before trashing him.
	Regards,
