I have recently passed the six month mark of my tuning career and wonder what I can expect in the way of retunings. Thanks. Martin Dubow >> For some reason, I never did have much success getting my customers to tune every 6 months. Oh, I do have some, but compared tot he rest of my client list, it's very little. I would guess maybe 5 per cent. When I first started tuning, I had the same thoughts you did. I couldn't wait for September to roll around, (I started tuning in March). It was very disappointed to have only a few agree to have me tune after only six months. Don't rely on the 6 months clients to keep you in business. Keep working to build your clientele. In fact, don't ever stop trying to build your clientele. You constantly have to work on building your business. Willem
