Wally: An arrangement as you describe is not worth it. I do (in addition to the pianos at SMU) the pianos in the Plano School District - 166 pianos. I don't do much repair, the tuning price is livable, and I do get referal business. Here, they think of a studio piano as a 15 year investment. After that it is replaced. That's why I don't do much repair. This approach seems to work here but since this district opens from 1 to 3 new schools per year, they buy lots of pianos. dave -- _______________________________________________ David M.
