Nothing is stopping anyone from starting their own website/blog, and call it Pianotech ll or whatever. To be honest, this mailing list is so bare bones and is so basic it doesn't even have sub-forums, like most forum-oriented websites. <br>
<br>Examples of subs might be: <br><br>Tuning <br>Repair<br>Restoration<br>Troubleshooting<br>Parts & accessories<br>Job opportunities<br>Off-topic<br><br><br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Terry "UniGeezer" Peterson<br>
