The Piano is the mightiest of musical instruments, and its versatility makes it the central focus of most musical groups. New sales of about 180,000 units per year and music teachers' full schedules attest to the continuing popularity of pianos in our society. Just ask our many successful alumni. Tuning and servicing pianos is a profession in which income is directly proportional to effort put forth. As with any new business, building a customer following takes reasonable time, usually two to five years.
Piano tuning is a skill that can be practiced in any city one chooses.
I like piano tuning because I like people, and because my work is respected and appreciated by them. One good thing about a piano is its relatively unchanging mechanics. Once learned, repair and tuning techniques change very little. At the same time, the piano's complexity allows for a lifetime of continuous learning if one desires. The piano is a familiar and much Ioved cornerstone of our society.
