I suggest you contact the Chicago School of Piano Technology. They probably have recent or upcoming graduates who will find this a mutually beneficial situation. If you wish to throw your net further, contact the North Bennett Street School in Boston.<div> Patrick Draine <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 11:28 AM, Don Hubbs <<a href="mailto:donhubbs@mwt.net" target="_blank">donhubbs@mwt.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div>I am getting older (63) and think I have enough business now to add an apprentice, but I am not sure how best to find someone. I have always been a one-man operation in a rural area and so I have had to learn to do whatever came along for work. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to solicit for someone strong enough to do the lifting, smooth enough to sell the tunings, young and poor enough to need the work, good with case repair and touch-up, willing to live in rural Wisconsin, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, etc.? On the plus side, I have a steady business, shop space, tools and equipment, patience, and a willingness to train someone. Thanks for your suggestions.
