Extreme measure? was RE: Pricing Pinblock Treatments

[David Love]

Yes I have.  The question was not whether it is an effective treatment, it
was whether you would offer a guarantee.  I would not.  If you have to CA
the pinblock the block is compromised.  I'm not saying it doesn't work but I
wouldn't offer a guarantee.  What if the block fails after your application?
While your application would not have caused that you might be held
responsible for replacing the block if you offer a "guarantee".

David, respectfully, have you tried CA treatment? I only ask because words
like "extreme measure" and "salvage a bad situation" make no sense to me,
based on years of experience with darned near miraculous results and the
many, many similar testamonies of other techs.

  

 

It isn't appropriate for a grand piano rebuild, perhaps, but it sure as heck
is THE treatment of choice for that old upright, old spinet, or old console
when the alternative is a bonfire.

No warrantee on CA doping of a pinblock (I assume you mean that and not on
tuning).  It's an extreme measure to try and salvage a bad situation.  In
fact, I would be explicit that the results cannot be guaranteed.

I'm wondering what folks out there are charging, typically, for CA treating
an upright block, maybe expressed as a percent of tuning fee or hourly
rates.

 

Also, are you offering a warrantee?

I live in a gated community, but they let me out for good behavior.
