there's a whole lot of things, like which brands were important (i.e. Erard--a piano-making house, whose owner was actually Austrian or German or something, but then he moved to Paris and set a huge business) and different songs that were used to tune them (like Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, a song that i believe is used even today not only because it's been a huge influence on western classical (and contemporaneous music) but because, well, you can get a well-tempered clavier. --clavier was a word used in germany which refers to a clavichord. and i could go on, lol) and lots of different tools and what were the common...uh. wordwordword. well, common stuff between piano-tuners (like having to have some fingernails long and other short because they might break while fiddling with the cords. and stuff).
MY BRAIN. IT ABSORBS REALLY RANDOM INFORMATION (i can't even play the piano! i only now started taking lessons!)
