HI Shawn,
I agree with you on that one.

I was wondering. Where did you train to become a piano tech?  I trained with 
a guy here in the Chicago area. He's great, but the training in the repair 
and regulation areas were more intoductory.  I know that there is a great 
school in Washington state, but the predicament is this. I have a good 
handle on tuning, but the repair end and regulation end I coudl use more 
help.  I'm doing my best to attend PTG meetings etc, but I need a lot of 
hands on since I"m not mechanically inclined.  The other problem is 
uprooting my family to go out there and then come back to Chicago.  What 
would I do with our appartment here in Chicago?  How wiill I aford to live 
out there without a job, and my wife would have to work plus we have a 15 
month old son as well.  So there are so many what ifs in the equation.  So 
how does a legally blind guy gain the full training he needs without having 
to uproot my family?  talk with you soon.
Marshall
ps. Don if you're out there reading this, please contact me.
