When I was tuning in Southern Colorado I heard about an itinerant tuner, who traveled the plain states, south in the winter then back up north in the summer. He had a pick up truck with a camper, in which he lived. he more or less had regular customers, but when he got to a town, he would go to a church and start asking if there were pianos to be tuned. He would stay as long as he was needed, and then move on. It's a lifestyle I've thought about, but I just can't get myself away from Hawaii. :) Wim -----Original Message----- From: David Boyce <David at piano.plus.com> To: pianotech <pianotech at ptg.org> Sent: Sun, Dec 16, 2012 6:40 am Subject: [pianotech] Piano Tech of No Fixed Abode You might be interested to read the Blog of itinerant piano tuner & technician Richard Roberts. Richard is carrying out what might be called a lifestyle experiment, partly triggered by a rebellion against the costs of house rental or purchase in London. He sleeps outside, and keeps tools to a minimum. RIchard's Blog is well written and illustrated and makes interesting reading. His website (click on the Blog link at the top) is at http://www.piano-tuning.co.uk/ I couldn't do it - I think I'd be dead in a week!
