Hello List, Can you help? I have situation that I have never had before and need some wisdom on how to proceed. A large local church called me and asked for a proposal to tune their sanctuary piano. The tuner that they did have was a member of the church and tuned it every week..yes every week. The church is involved with a TV ministry and I am guessing that it might need "tweaked" every week. I am told that the piano will NOT be moved as much as it was in the past and they are thinking that perhaps tuning it every other week would be sufficient. I did tell the caller that it sounds reasonable, but if they feel it continues to need the weekly tuning, then I would work with them. The music department secretary was very kind and not gruff at all, but I am not sure what kind of fee to propose to them. It would be great to have the steady work, but I don't want to undersell my services either. They wish to have a month "trial period" to see if things work out. I said that it sounded fair to me. I am used to tuning a piano twice a year, so twice a month is new to me. Is there anyone out there who can share some wisdom with me on how I might proceed? Does anyone have a similar situation but the church/institution has you on a retainer fee ? Brian P. Doepke AAA Piano Works, Inc.
