[pianotech] Ethics and efficacy of part-time tuning

[Dean May]

I have to say for me that curiosity is being fed by this list in a huge way.
I've said it before but I'll say it again, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
to all who post and share so freely the nuggets of wisdom and insight that
have come at great cost to you. Without question I am a much better
technician because of you.

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."
