DH bought the widgets and the electronic gadget and tried to tune ours a few
times. Not very successfully. The regular tuner knew immediately that some
fool had been messing with his baby and gve DH a very severe reprimand. (And
IMO charged double ever after until we moved to a different country.) So I
have great respect for the profession. Not sure it's something you could
learn to do well through home study. But you may be more talented in that
direction than DH!

Anyone on here a piano tuner? Or know one? I was thinking of taking a
home study course to become a piano tuner. Not so much a full time
thing....but as a supplmental thing. Do a tuning here and
there....particualry when I am saving up for major quilty purchase
items like a stitch regulator for my HQ16 or PCQuilter. Maybe one day I
could do it as partial income and then quilt the rest of the
time...something like that....

Plus I think it is downright interesting. My "real" work is so ethereal
(software) this would be nice to do something hands on...

I was just wondering if anyone learned from a home study course and
what did they think...? Did they make a career out of it? Etc. I don't
imagine myself getting all crazy...but maybe a word of mouth business
kinda thing.
