Do you play piano?

[Gregor _]

Are there techs outside who don´t play piano? If so: how came in your mind 
to become a piano tech?

As a rough guess I think here in Germany there might be about 20 percent of 
techs who don´t play. Here it is usual to learn a profession by 
aprenticeship when you are 16 - 20 years old. To start an aprenticeship 
beyond the age of 25 is very uncommon. On the other hand: you don´t have any 
possibility to learn that profession lagter by attending commercial classes 
because such shools don´t exist. I understand that many people would like to 
learn piano tuning/repair, because they play piano and their first career in 
another profession was not sucessfull. But it´s hard to understand why 
anybody should want to learn that profession without a relation to pianos. 
In my class there were some folks who decided for piano tech because the 
father aranged the aprenticeship or because the best friend did so, too.

What´s about you?
