Where are the new techs needed?

[Paul T Williams]

RPT is an educated and tested piano technician.  A "Tooner" is a person 
who thinks he/she can tune because he/she has some tools and is usually 
self-taught.  They're out there... giving the rest of we who studied the 
art/science a bad name! :>(  BTW, there are some very good technicians in 
the Guild who don't have the RPT designation...

Paul,
 
I'm sorry but I had to ask I've seen someone write this before, whats the 
difference between an RPT tuner, and a "tooner" as so you put?

Try Bellingham, Washington.  Seattle is saturated, but northern Washington 
needs more good RPT's.  There are "tooners" up there and a few RPT's, but 
not enough. 

That's all I have to give.

Greetings all, this is my first post after reading the list for a little 
while.  I just finished my first year in piano tech at the North Bennet 
Street School and I'll be returning for rebuilding next fall.  I'm in the 
unique position that I'll be able to move pretty much wherever I want when 
I'm finished with school, so I'm doing some research about where in the 
country you all think there is a shortage of good technicians.  I asked 
the same question at the piano world technician's forum and got a lot of 
recommendations for moving "out west" to California and the like.  Are 
there any specific areas you know of that need new techs?  Also, do you 
know where I can find out more about this topic?

Thanks, and I hope to chat some more in the future.
