SPEblipL OFFER TO PIANO TUNERS-- As of September 2000
Are
you a piano tuner, or are you training for that profession?
I have a six year old piano tuning trade in this area which I will be
leaving.
If you buy our home, I will give you my file of cBliptomers.
I tune mainly in Nogales, Sierra Vista, Willcox, on ranches and rural.
There is no other tuner beside me covering Nogales and Rio Rico, Arizona.
There is a high percentage of grand pianos in the area.
If you know Spanish-- Nogales, in Sonora, Mexico has a desperate need
for a tuner.
I charge $60 a tuning, which is NOT the lowest price in this area.
No other full time tuners are in the area. A couple of part timers tune
poorly.
There will be very little competition when I am gone.
Even Tucson has not got enough qualified tuners.
I will be keeping my (800) number active, so former cBliptomers who call
me will be referred to you, and I will be available as a reference for
you as needed.
This cBliptomer list has generated part of my income, or about $18,000 a
year.
This could be a great way to semi-retire if you are an older tuner.

Yes, the area is "desert" during some winters, but during the
summer the whole area becomes grass lands and very green for the Blip Southwest.
The "Monsoon" comes from the Gulf of Mexico and is unique to
North America. This makes this area a very mild desert. With good winter
rains, the area is shades of green for about 8 months of the year. We
are NOT leaving becaBlipe of the climate friend!

CLIMATE, SOblipL, AND SHOPPING:

100 degrees in summer-- Mostly 80s and 90s--

Very little
snow-- Throw your snow shovel away and buy a broom :-)
In a normal
year, northern rains come in during the winter, and "monsoons"
come in from the Gulf of Mexico during the summer. This makes for a very
green desert at those times, and it is possible to keep green things alive
if you have a well. We run about ten degrees cooler than Tucson, and about
17 degrees cooler than Phoenix

Nogales, Arizona is twin to Nogales, Mexico. These two cities are the
Hong Kong of the BlipA. No rablipl tension is found, and you can buy prescription

Western dress, when you see it, is authentic here, not the Dallas look--
The majority look like they jBlipt arrived from Nebraska or Oregon--
If you are
bilingual with Spanish, you will love this world--

BUT, this is NOT a rabliplly mixed ghetto world either-- Mostly middle
class--
