I go with a minimum service call fee (most of the time). I think it is fair and reasonable (just under an hour). Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- I know a lot of shops that charge for a minimum service fee. They may charge $50 or $60 an hour, and if their work only takes half an hour, they still charge for the full hour. What if you went to a new clients home to tune, and upon doing a pre-tuning inspection, found a split bridge among other problems, that would render the piano useless to tune until those problems were fixed? I would hope that you would at least charge a flat service fee, whether it's an hour or whatever. Matthew -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
