Dreams are great things. Everyone should have at least one. When the day comes that someone actually invents a self-tuning and (hey, why not?) self-regulating piano, you'll have plenty of time for your dreams. You know, like about what you're going to do with the rest of your life, now that piano technicians are obsolete and not needed annymore. Maybe we could all turn to servicing the machines that look away our jobs, although I don't think I could be trusted not to make a few critical mal-adjustments now and then, just to prove that no lousy, stinking machine will ever be able to replace the subjective, human element in top-flight tuning, regulating and voicing work. IMHO, of course!
