>Charge full price. DIscounts can be offered as work load/need permits.

>If you weren't tuning that piano, you'd be tuning another at full price.
>Discounts go to good, established clients. Not free-bees for a trial period.
>Besides, a one month trial period (two tunings) is too short.

>30 years ago a restaurant wanted their piano tuned once per week.
>I told them $20 (full price at the time).  They balked a little but agreed.
