[Farrell]

Hey, don't knock those Acrosonics. I am doing a lot of repeat customers now, and I am finding that I seem to be making less money. Those neglected spinets bring in:

Tuning = $75
Pitch Raise = $40 to $80
Few Repairs = $20 to $50

Total = $135 to $205

Nothing wrong with a neglected Acrosonic!  Send 'em my way!   :-)
