This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Thanks to everyone for your responses. I'm planning to take the Piano = Technology course at the University of Western Ontario. The next = starting date isn't until September 2004 so I will continue investigate = this new venture: watching this forum, talking to piano techs, and = researching opportunities in the area. I think this is an honourable profession and would love to be part of = it. Brad Selves ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Brad Selves=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2003 9:54 PM Subject: on becoming a piano tech I'm contemplating a career change into Piano Tech and would love it if = you Technicians/Tuners (what do you usually call yourselves?) could give = me some insight into the career choice and business. Although I think this career would be a great fit with me (grew up = playing piano, love working with my hands, have made guitars & = furniture, like being self-employed), I want to know this is a viable = career before I quit my job to go back to school for this. So having said this, my questions are these (for now): Is there demand for Piano Techs? Is demand growing/shrinking/stable? Where is the demand? Is it = private/institutions/stores/manufacturers/somewhere else? What is a reasonable range of annual income? What about starting out? = I live in Southwestern Ontario, Canada if it makes a difference? Would you recommend this career? Do you have any other answers to questions you think I should be = asking but haven't? Thanks for your considerations in advance. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
