I find it difficult to agree with this statement. Obviously tuners
that strive to do better jobs will attract more customers however it seems
to me that most new customers call because they don't have a regular tuner
and have not had their pianos tuned in years. My feeling is that any person
with a reasonable ability and talent for this job who trys to do a good
job will succeed but if people had their pianos tuned when they needed
it, there are not enough tuners to do the job.
