Let me add one more thought. I took the Potter course. The main advantage I see to a tech-school is that you will have access to better pianos to hone your aurel tuning skills. Mine aurel skills are not great. I'd like to take the tuning exam in 1999. The biggest obstacle for me is that I don't have access to a well scaled piano. Most of my pianos are junk. The few decent painos I tune are in private homes. It's pretty unlikely that I could tune those pianos every week for practice. I think it will take some effort to improve my tuning skills. In our PTG chapter, a recent tech-school grad passed his RPT exams immediately, fisrt try. As for me, there is still a long road to travel. -- Frank Cahill Associate Member Northern Va
