List, Situation: Recently retired professional. Has plenty of time, and claims to be an amateur wood worker. Sold their house and are moving. Time to fix the piano or..... I give him an estimate for the repair. As we talked he asked if there were things he could do as this was of interest to him. Can I do some repair and save some money??????? Glimpsing his copy of Reblitz I answered I charge XXX an hour if you help. He said GREAT ! Many hours later and twice the amount I quoted he was still saying GREAT ! 1. He found that the regulation, cleaning was time consuming and very refined. 2. He found a new respect for what was involved in the repair of his piano, and the skill I have developed over the years in my profession. 3. It is now HIS piano and he is proud of his accomplishment. He has a big investment in that piano, and the education was worth the price to him. I took a great leap of faith with this customer, and I'm glad I followed my intuiation. Anybody have this type of experience? Joel Jones, RPT Madison, WI -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
