"The old school"

 Hello to All,

      I  have read  some of the post about  the so called
"old school ".  Since  there was  no time  line defining
just when  "the old school " started or ended I am going to 
assume that I  am included in this blanket condemnation.
       
       I am continually amazed at some people who insist
on talking  about something that they obviously have no 
personal knowledge of.  When this happens usually what
you have is just  dribble  that reflects a  personal opinion 
based on very little facts at best,  to no facts at all at worst.

       Most people at one time or another think that they are
blazing new and uncharted trails.  But if they look down they
will most certainly discover that  millions upon millions have
traveled this same trail before you.  You owe it to  PTG and
to our  profession to reframe from speaking in this insulting 
and condescending manner. 

        I can tell you  what was written is not any where near  the 
way things were taught  in the "old school."     As I  was there,
at least from 1946 on.  One of my first jobs was to raise pitch
on all pianos that came into my brothers shop and store. Then
the "tuners"  would tune them.  I raised pitch then and 56 years
later,  I raise pitch on every pianos today. I  was not the exception
then,  and I hope I am not the exception now.   
      
      I will confess that the 24 hour rule was used here. When I got 
to the shop today the paper was still smoking with words like.  
     
     " If the parking lot is in order,  I  know how to get there. 
and once there,  I know what to do."

Regards, to those who respect our profession,

Jack Wyatt
