<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks Doug. After inspecting =
this Potter
course, I do believe it is high quality but it definitely will take a =
while for
me to go through it. There is so much to know about this craft and =
I am
starting to see that it is going to be a lifetime learning =
experience. I
will try to find some PTG people to get with. The guy over in =
Altus, OK
did not respond to my email but I will probably try to make the three =
hour drive
to Fort Worth or Dallas on occasion. Thanks again for responding =
to my
post and being helpful.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I am a new Piano Tech and also going through the Randy Potter =
couse. It
is very good. I'm going through it</DIV>
<DIV>slower than I would like, but I am learning as I go along. =
The
course is very content heavy, but the most I am learning</DIV>
<DIV>is by just jumping in feet first with fixing and tuning a variety =
of
piano's. I started tuning piano's mostly, but now I</DIV>
<DIV>am beginning to do minor repairs. Again, I know there is =
much to
learn so I am learning as I go. If you can find</DIV>
<DIV>an experienced Piano Tech you can work with that will be helpful
too. The local PTG president where I live has</DIV>
<DIV>been very kind to spend time to teach me different skills and I =
am
very grateful for that. </DIV>
