Mark-up (was Steinway parts)

[Leslie Bartlett]

I've heard that true artisans &  professionals are paid

for what they know not  necessarily how much time is put in..



This is a paraphrasing of an old story circulating around...

An engineer was on a cruise when a noise developed in the
propulsion system. Being a specialist they called on him.

He walked are the engine room and placed an ''X" on a shaft.
He asked for a hammer and whacked the pipe at the mark.
The noise stopped.

The Captain asked for an itemization of his $501.00 bill:
Hitting chalk mark with hammer      $1.00
Knowing where to place the mark   $500.00
[Leslie Bartlett]                 Yes, but maybe the noise on the ship was
not paid out of "discretionary money".
