Not to add to all the speculation here.... but I recall something from Randy Potter's seminar about our being "Musical Instrument Repair" (as opposed to "furniture repair") people. Of course, this was a federal thing, and I don't recall any more specifically what we were discussing at the time. Besides, we're all just guessing here... I really feel that someone in CA should probably contact an accountant, CPA, or tax attorney for a somewhat more definitive answer.
