who's responsible???

[Michelle L Stranges]

Hmmm... I'll give you the sinerio ( spelling???).

THe small town opera company wants to perform at the small towns nicest
hotel.
You are called in to tune. 
You go there and the lyre is busted off and on the floor... needing mucho
repairs.

here's another..

ANOTHER small town opera company wants to perform at a private home with a
refurbished piano...BUT you realize you'll have to replace about 16 tuning
pins before you can justifiably charge for a tuning.

You guessed my question..... and if you didn't....
* does the small town opera company pay for the tuning AND the repair..or
just the tuning. ( and then the piano owners pay for the repair.) *

I have yet to send out a bill for this actual problem. I'm calling all pro's
with this matter.

Also- what's the BEST touch up for your average beat-up Steinway stain
finish..
Shoe dye or auto finish touch up paint???
