Doug. After inspecting this Potter course, I do believe it is high
quality but it definitely will take a while for me to go through
it. There is so much to know about this craft and I am starting to
see that it is going to be a lifetime learning experience.

Definitely. I've been doing this for 30 years and I'm STILL learning
things. Or at least <br>
trying to. It's when we stop trying to, that we........... (fill in the
blank!)<br>
Best wishes and keep on keeping on! <br><br>
That's what I like most about the PTG and this list. When we run into
trouble, there's <br>
usually "someone" who can help us get out of it! It's happened
to me many times! :-) <br><br>

try to find some PTG people to get with. The guy over in Altus, OK
did not respond to my email but I will probably try to make the three
hour drive to Fort Worth or Dallas on occasion. Thanks again for
responding to my post and being helpful.<br>

<dd>I am a new Piano Tech and also going through the Randy Potter couse.
It is very good. I'm going through it<br>
<dd>slower than I would like, but I am learning as I go along. The
course is very content heavy, but the most I am learning<br>
<dd>is by just jumping in feet first with fixing and tuning a variety of
piano's. I started tuning piano's mostly, but now I<br>
<dd>am beginning to do minor repairs. Again, I know there is much
to learn so I am learning as I go. If you can find<br>
<dd>an experienced Piano Tech you can work with that will be helpful
too. The local PTG president where I live has<br>
<dd>been very kind to spend time to teach me different skills and I am
very grateful for that. <br><br>
