List, What a lot of help! Thank you all for helping me think through this opportunity. First a correction. Too often I attempt to multi-task.. usually to my embarrassment. The artist in question is Sting not Prince. Why can't these people have normal names like Bob or Sue??? Here is a summary of what I proposed to the manager: Three levels of service: 1) Technician on site for $1++ per hour, after 8 hours and weekends +50%. 2) Technician on call. On call means they want first call on my time. For that they have to pay. In any business transaction you have to compensate a seller for taking their product off the market so that you have the option of first refusal. So I am charging $2++ per day for just being on call plus the normal tuning per hour fee and traveling expenses and time. 3) The option I hope they take.. regularly scheduled tunings plus the option of meeting with the artist to discuss and resolve any issues. I think this approach allows the buyer of my time to create a product which best meets their needs and I get well compensated for my efforts and time. I will let you know how it all come out.
