Who needs piano technicians?

[David Weiss]

Hello.  I just joined the list and was hoping I could get some advice.

I am currently in the piano technology program at the University of Western 
Ontario.  The program is ten months of tuning, repairing, regulating and 
rebuilding.  At the completion of the program I want to move somewhere on 
the East Coast of the US in order to be closer to my aging parents.

I am searching for a good place to locate a piano technician business. I've 
been using the internet to find the population and number of technicians in 
a given area.  But I need one more statistic--is there any way to figure out 
the "piano density" of an area?

Furthermore, is this the best way to go about this search?  How have other 
people conducted such a search?  Has the journal done any articles on this 
subject?

I would greatly appreciate advice or thoughts anyone has on the subject.  I 
should mention that I am 43 years old, married, with two children.

Thanks in advance.
