Amen, Susan---It's dead simple---extremely challengingly difficult, but simple---to build a business: live the Golden Rule, and get serious about quickly improving your skill level, ESPECIALLY with regard to tuning; the ability to throw a good, solid, musical tuning on a piano has got me into more dealer's doors, and made me more money than I can remember. If your tuning sounds way better than your colleagues, guess what? You win. It's only a matter of time. That's the Darwinian reality of our business: if you can make a piano sound and feel better than the next guy, and you're honest and don't have cooties, you will eventually have all the business you want. Period. AMHIK. <g> David Andersen Malibu, CA > Can you produce a decent tuning, which you and the customer both can > approve?
