By working "fast and dirty" for the early stages of this, I can=
 stay within my usual time budget and not have to charge any more=
 for the pitch-raise part. 



Excuse me, brother, but you=92re out of your ever-lovin=92 mind not=
 to charge for the pitch raise; forget about the =93time;=94 think=
 about 1. The tremendous wear on your body, and 2. The expertise=
 needed to accomplish
2 quick raises, putting your hammer on every note, then a fine=
 tuning.  Are you nuts?

Here=92s what my charge would be (remember, I get top dollar in a=
 major urban area):

2 pitch raises @ 75.00      150.00
Tune A440                        150.00
Total                                 _____
                                       $300.00

That=92s hard, hard work, and I want and deserve to get PAID for=
 hard work.

With all due respect, Robin, you should take a look at what=
 you=92re giving away. The true payoff IS
the beauty you create and enable, and the possibility of=
 inspiring a child; that said, your type of expertise, in any=
 other realm, would be much more expensive.

Hope this helps.....
