<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR>This is a very individual question, =
somewhat like
"how long does it take to <BR>learn to *play* the piano?". For =
most
people, it takes several months at <BR>least to learn all of the =
basics to

other.
<BR><BR>You are ready to tune for a paying customer when you can =
tune a
piano well <BR>enough in 2 hours or less which will produce some =
good
sounding music. <BR>That's a fairly subjective statement but =
if you

question is
really never finite. Just <BR>take a glance at the concurrent =

tuning, the
