All of us started out tuning part time but, some of us chose to go into it full time. As a supplimented income only, if that is the plan, then personally, I don't believe continuing to tune only part time will provide enough time to learn what needs to be accomplished to do quality work.

On an individual basis, we can only only hope that all of us can strive to "render the best possible service under the circumstances" all of the time--especially as members of the PTG!

There is a view that if you are not tuning full-time you will not maintain your skill at a high enough level. Best regards, David. _____ avast!
