  Tex,

  While servicing a 1953 Acrosonic on Tuesday, I came across a pamphlet =
that Baldwin apparently included with the piano.  In it there was =
section about service, tuning and how to choose a technician.  The =
accompanying picture (drawing) showed a tuner at someone's door wearing =
a double-breasted suit, doffing a chapeau, and carrying what appeared to =
be a doctor's bag.

  While times have changed, I don't think this image is terribly far off =
from the impression a good piano technician should offer.  Call me a =
fuddy duddy, but I wear dress pants, dress shirt, and tie.  I try to =
keep the shoes shined.

  After all, piano doctors still make house calls.

      I wear a short sleeved work shirt=20
      (happens to be light blue, other colors would=20
      work) on which I had embroidered my first name=20
      above one pocket and a grand piano with the=20
      company name above the other pocket. =20



    I see that others wear your name on the shirt, in some form or =
another. I am sorry, but to me that brings our profession down to the =
level of a janitor, plumber or auto mechanic. I can see the plastic name =
tag, used by doctors. But anything embroidered on a shirt, to me, is =
"low class." We are supposed to be high class people, invited into not =
only the home, but usually in the best room of the home. I want to =
present myself as professionally as possible, and an embroidered shirt =
just doesn't cut it.=20

    Just my view=20
