[pianotech] Counts .......

[Duaine Hechler]

First, I have to preface this with the fact that, the last time I as at
a local meeting, everyone in this area is have a slump.

Next, about 2 years ago, I landed a church - with a band - that I tune
for every 6 months.

Around that same time, I landed another church with 3 pianos. It started
out every six months, then went to a year, now the church is about ready
to close.

A lot of churches in this area are going to keyboards - even - my -
church - they can't afford it (tunings) - even once a year!
