kookycanooky Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 After starting school back in Halifax (engineering) back in 2003, making my way to McMaster in '05 (jazz piano, what was i thinking)...shleping lumber in rando trade jobs for a year, and returning once again to McMaster in 07, I have finally, finally completed my undergrad degree in Environmental Science B.Sc.Just walked out of my last exam, now i'm going to get a well deserved pint or two...So whats a real world Kookycanooky to do?Seems as how getting some sort of "real world" job just doesn't mesh well with playing in a busy rock band, i'm giving myself a year to try and start up as a piano tuner to pay the rent and soon to be arriving OSAP bills. I'm banking that they don't find me until the real school year ends. The pitch: Do you need a piano tuned? I'm looking to gather contaacts around Hamilton and Toronto and anywhere in between. Surrounding cities can be in the cards too so long as I can make the drive worth while. I'm still learning but i've come a long way and I guarantee not to break your shit. I wouldn't be selling myself if I haven't been having satisfied customers in the past. I treat every piano like my own.I also know tone-wheel era hammond organs (1930's-70's) and leslie speaker inner workings like the back of my hand. I've had great luck restoring vintage music gear and dogonit, i really love doing it. You know the drill...big CHEERS!adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I recommend finding a piano store and seeing if they'll hire you part-time. I bet if you get hired somewhere you'll be tuning as many pianos as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
