Terry, Yes you are correct. One grand a day, 5 a week at the bench in a factory and that included voicing. No tuning during the day. That was night time and weekend work. It was a 45 minute drive each way to work. Yes I was very busy. Those were the start up days. I had to work to buy a house and raise a family.

That's 200 regulations per year. That's almost one per day. Joe Garrett's labor guide alots about 8 hours for a partial regulation and 13 hours for a full regulation. Not to mention voicing. Not to mention driving to the job. Sorry to nit-pick, but you must be very busy! Have you ever tuned a piano?
