A tiny correction if I may: "Bund Deutscher Klavierbauer" is the association of German piano technicians. The German piano manufacturers have their own association is called "Bundesverband Klavier" http://www.pianos.de/ If anyone in the US is interested in subscribing to Europiano magazine, the journal of the alliance of all piano technician organizations in Europe, please contact me. I am the representative for the publisher Bochinsky, which produces this quarterly as well as books on piano technology. I can set up subscriptions and save you a lot of cross-Atlantic hassle. Regarding living and working in Europe, no matter what profession you choose, there are immigration issues to deal with - visas. work permits etc. Contact the nearest consulate of the country of your choosing. perhaps if your spouse gets a permit to work as a musician or artist (these visas are sometimes easier to get) you could do some piano work on the side.
