I've loved the piano, its literature, and those who make it sing all
my life.  I resisted early efforts to get me to study, and instead hung
around pianists.  Thirty-some years ago, I found my performance
solution by becoming a very good "pianolist."

Now, facing retirement in four or five years, a new idea is forming.
Pipe dream?  I don't know.  I wondered if the group might advise me
on how I might become certified in piano tuning.

I doubt I have the time to become a qualified technician, but I have a
good ear and a great (so far mostly aesthetic) love of the instruments.

The question becomes: how might I learn to do no harm tuning my own
piano, and maybe those of others?

I live in the Washington DC area.
