Keyboards! Part Timers can't join in GB

[Michael Jorgensen]

Hi David,
     There are some excellent tuners who spend most of their time
rebuilding, and many retired RPTs who do a few for extra $. (some of
these guys are the best!).  One nice thing about this profession is you
can slow down without having to quit.  It might be better for tuners not
to do so many as tuning is hard on the ears and body.  There are also
many isolated communities which simply can't support a full time RPT.  I
hope the PTG doesn't ever estabilish that rule!
