 While I can heartily agree with Ed's suggestion that if you have more work 
than you can comfortably handle you aren't charging enough I can't agree with 
"automatic" new customer price differential.  There are too many permutations 
of this situation to state a hard and fast rule for universal application and 
I just tell my customers what a fee for a regular tuning is and if there is 
'anything' above that it will be extra and we can discuss it then.  Each of 
us has to do what we feel suits our own personal style/goals the best.
