Yet another newbie

[deanslist]

Thanks for the welcome. I'll definitely join the PTG and hope to find a good mentor.
I've already been lucky enough to have one in my previous career so I really understand the value.

  Hello,  Sara and Sam, and welcome to the List!  I have to chime in here, which I don't do alot.  I tuned pianos for 20 years part-time, while I taught school, and other things.  But the learning started in earnest when I took a full-time job with a dealer, and had other techs to mentor me.  I have learned more in that 6 1/2 years than I did in the previous 20, passed my RPT exams in about 2 years.  The value of a technician mentor/friend is absolutely invaluable.  Also, join the PTG, it is a great learning experience as well.
      Sam, I re-whatevered a 1930's Kimball grand for a school a while back, and it turned out to be a decent piano, FWIW.
