[pianotech] Charging by the hour or the job

[William Monroe]

Really Dale?

I'll scan the pages and send them to you!!  That OK Joe???

Hahaha.

I have the guide and use it.  It's well done.  I find the times to be a good
guide and a good place to start.  Once you develop your own protocol and
procedures for a particular job though, you may find it in your interest to
make adjustments up or down to the hours.  But, I had this guide from the
first days I was in the business and it has been a lifesaver, many times.
THANKS, JOE!

Contact Randy Potter, Dale, he has them for sale.  You can also get a copy
of Wim's book there.  Scroll down the page to about Three from the bottom
for the Repair Labor Guide.
