<DIV><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hi Marcel,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I sent in the necessary app and application fee to join. I'm excited as I said in the last post. Suprisingly, the piano does hold a pretty good tune for as bad of shape it's in. The practice with the lever and various techniques like felting aren't too bad. Im also workig on speed. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have the ads and door knob hangers ready to print. I'm looking forward to the cardio excersize of walking and putting those babies on the doors. Now if we could just get a little warmer than 50 which isn't bad for Jan. around here. </FONT></DIV>

Anyway, you'd have to find out when they publish. Here in <BR>> Canada, they only publish once a year in february. I have to agree to <BR>> their contract in august the previous year. If I were you, I's simply <BR>> make my own ad with removable phone number and post it at various places <BR>> in town (drugstore, supermarket, community hall etc.). But my first goal <BR>> would be to join the PTG and pass the exams at RPT level. <BR>> <BR>> In your previous posts, you mentioned tuning a piano at the thrift <BR>> store. This piano you said had very loose pins. This is NOT a good piano <BR>> to be learning on PERIOD At least find a decent piano that is tunable <BR>> for practice. Your best resource is still your local chapter. <BR>> <BR>> Marcel Carey, RPT <BR>> Sherbrooke, QC <BR>> > <BR>> > Hi everyone, <BR>> > I wanted to know if anyone out there knows of a directory of <BR>> > piano owners <BR>> > that I can obtain in order to prospect for customers.
