Due to the relatively slow development of the piano industry in China, the first blind piano tuning lawyer did not appear until the latter part of the last century.

In 1978, a blind man named Li Renwei who had a persistent pursuit of music and was extremely talented began to teach piano tuning by himself.

In 1990, he got the true biography of American piano tuning master Annie Gray, and brought advanced European and American tuning techniques back to China.

In 1991, the first blind piano tuning class in China was founded in the Beijing School for the Blind.

In 1994, his first five students graduated and all found employment in piano factories or piano shops.

In 1999, the nation's first piano tuning and repair center was officially established with Li Renwei as the technical director.

In 2005, his students were notorious in society. Chen Yan published an autobiography on how to overcome difficulties, learn piano tuning, and talk about the hardships in his work.

In 2008, the tuning center had more than 10,000 users. In the same year, a number of imported piano tuning tools and parts processing equipment were added to better serve professional services.

In 2009, with the graduation of the sixth student of Mr. Li, our team of lawyers continued to expand and the number of users continued to increase. The tuning center completed the reform and became a limited liability company with a capital of 500,000. The brand "Ren Wei Blind Piano Tuning" has been officially registered by the Trademark Office.

They seemed to go smoothly along the way, but they put in too much effort of Teacher Li and everyone, and they worked together to get a little bit of today's achievements.

In many countries around the world, blind piano tuning lawyers are a profession widely recognized by the public and a profession that blind people can engage in. In some countries, piano tuning, and even the government-supported cause of the disabled, only blind people are allowed to engage in this industry.

When you play the piano, you rely on your ears to listen to the rhythm and tone of the piano, use your fingers to feel the weight and touch of the keys, and the unique sensitivity to the sound makes our blind piano tuning lawyers fully recognize this work with their ears and hands, and can Debug a piano that sounds good, so that users can better enjoy the wonderful feeling of the melody when they play the piano.

In the 1970s, when Mr. Li Renwei first taught piano tuning on his own, he had found a teacher in this field in China. He wanted to learn piano tuning with him, but he refused many times. Indeed, there were very few people working in piano tuning in China at that time, and never heard of blind people being able to do this work. In their eyes, the piano's more than 200 strings are densely packed, and more than 8,000 parts are also different. Their concerns are understandable, but they have not carefully thought about the arrangement of these strings and the installation of parts. All are regular. As long as you think hard and practice hard, the blind can be recognized. As long as the effort is deep, iron rods are ground into needles. Today, Mr. Li has been rated as a senior technician of the "Piano Tuning Branch of the Chinese Musical Instrument Association" for his superb skills. He is a permanent member of the Piano Tuning Branch of the Chinese Musicians Association. Qualification certificates, and many have obtained senior transfer lawyer qualifications.

They know that with these true technologies and the recognition of the association, if they want to be an outstanding lawyer, they must make a brand, build credibility, push the group of blind lawyers to the society, and gain a foothold in the society. It also depends on high-quality unified and standardized services and the sincere heart of each transfer lawyer to treat users. Li Renwei often said at legislative meetings: "We are blind, the characteristics are very obvious, and now is the time for everyone to widely recognize us, so we must carefully adjust all the piano adjustments to the standard when tuning for users Do nt take it too much trouble, no matter how difficult to tune the piano, you have to adjust it to your satisfaction. I am assured of your technology, as long as you have this responsibility to tune the piano to yourself when you can no longer fault, users are surely satisfied. I hope that you can be as reassuring as technology when it comes to being a person. Indeed, it is possible that many users really do not recognize the pros and cons of the piano you tuned out, as we did when we tuned pianos for professionals engaged in music. It may not be possible to make too many evaluations at that time, but if you go to fool them, people will definitely understand what is going on. " He also often said, "If a sound person feels bad after tuning, they can change to a tuning lawyer next time. But if our blindly tuned piano makes users say badly, they will think that the blind tunes. Qin doesn't work, which is determined by this obvious feature of us. So we must remember that when you go out and face each user, you are not just representing yourself, but you are representing me, and representing our entire blind lawyer. group". Mr. Li's words are simple but meaningful. The company has made great progress today, relying on the reputation of the masses. A user who recognizes us will introduce us to his relatives and friends, and friends can introduce them to friends, so as to form an endless user chain. With these we can keep occupying the market, let more people understand our technology, how we can support ourselves, and our standards for doing business and being a human.

Now, blind lawyers are doing business across the country. This is not for the purpose of earning money, because sometimes they go outside to tune the piano and can only earn back the cost of food and accommodation. They are to let people across the country know that the blind can tune, and they have good skills.

After their struggle, maybe five or ten years, I hope that the word of mouth will spread in the country, which is: "Tune the piano and find the blind." ^[2-3]
