By John Granholm, Managing Editor and RPT

Barry Bradshaw is no stranger to piano technology. In addition to running his own business over the course of his 50-year career, this third-generation piano technician put in ten years of university work, was the chief technician for a Steinway & Sons dealership, and served more than a dozen years supervising quality control at Baldwin’s grand piano factory in Conway, Arkansas. He has distilled his extensive professional experience into his book, How to Earn $200,000 a Year Tuning Pianos.
Mr. Bradshaw includes several suggestions for customer handouts, checklists for technicians, and even a facsimile of his tax return to support his points. He also generously invites readers to consult him for advice.
This book, available in printed or electronic editions, contains a great deal of useful information and guidance, especially for younger technicians.
I wish I’d had it when I was starting out.
