[pianotech] business

[David Love]

You just give them your basic fee info and let them know that the final cost
can vary depending on what the problems are.  It's like calling a auto
repair and asking how much to fix my car.  It depends on what's wrong with
it.  If they want to insist on holding you to a specific price before you've
seen the piano, pass.

And how do we charge as we "see fit" if we haven't seen the piano yet, and
most customers would like a price over the phone before you have a chance to
"see fit"?

Non digital player pianos fall into the same category as squares for me. I
like regulating grand dampers. I don't use clips on bridle straps. I don't

So should I charge extra to regulate grand dampers and tune the cheap
spinet? When I mean extra, I mean more than my normal hourly rate.
