[pianotech] Ethics and efficacy of part-time tuning

[Rob McCall]

I'm getting a clear picture that the professionals in this vocation  
share several common traits with most every other career path. That  
is, the quality of one's work is extremely dependent on the character,  
integrity, and the insatiable curiosity of the person doing the work.

As Gene M. so succinctly put it, "It is not the part time status of  
piano tuning, it is the tuner."
