<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">RPT is an educated and tested piano
technician. A "Tooner" is a person who thinks he/she can
tune because he/she has some tools and is usually self-taught. They're
out there... giving the rest of we who studied the art/science a bad name!
:>( BTW, there are some very good technicians in the Guild who
don't have the RPT designation...</font>

I'm sorry but I had to ask I've seen someone write this before, whats the
difference between an RPT tuner, and a "tooner" as so you put?<br>

Try Bellingham, Washington. Seattle is saturated, but northern Washington
needs more good RPT's. There are "tooners" up there and
a few RPT's, but not enough.</font><font size=2 face="Tahoma"> <br>

Greetings all, this is my first post after reading the list for a little
while. I just finished my first year in piano tech at the North Bennet
Street School and I'll be returning for rebuilding next fall. I'm
in the unique position that I'll be able to move pretty much wherever I
want when I'm finished with school, so I'm doing some research about where
in the country you all think there is a shortage of good technicians. I
asked the same question at the piano world technician's forum and got a
lot of recommendations for moving "out west" to California and
the like. Are there any specific areas you know of that need new
techs? Also, do you know where I can find out more about this topic?<br>
<br>
Thanks, and I hope to chat some more in the future.<br>
