LEARNING A NEW TRADE





I am learning an exciting new trade; piano tuning.

My regular piano tuner, Mang Joe, started giving me pointers on how to quickly learn piano tuning. He said, it is a simple process, but requires a lot of patience and years of practice to achieve perfection. First things first, I have to get my own set of tools: tuning hammer or wrench, tuning fork, rubber tuning wedges or mutes, and electronic tuner. These tools will probably cost me a lot, but it is worth it, knowing that I'll be doing my own piano tuning and won't spend anymore for tuning fees after some time.

I am so excited to get it going! Meanwhile, I am doing research to learn the basic mechanics of tuning and memorizing by heart the many intricate parts of the piano.

Good to learn new things. I like to learn carpentry and pot making. Isn't that exciting, too?

@ Mon,

Definitely not, man! Just want to learn something new. Since I play piano, might as well learn the trade and doing the tuning myself.

@ Darrel,

How are you?

Learning is a continuing process.

Carpentry is one of my hobbies, too! I have completed my basic carpentry tools.
