I raised mine by $20 a month ago. I never marked my prices by my competition. Far to many techs don't raise prices often enough and far too many have much lower quality than many of us do. I charge more for that alone. They can charge what they want. If they wish to charge $50 less, fine by me, I raise my quality and beat them every time. I'm still booked solid through September 22 as of today. -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Wally Scherer Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2010 9:18 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] Raising rates in recession I usually raise my rates a bit every two years to keep up with the cost of living. But since we are in a recession, is this wise to do now? Wally Scherer A FINE TUNE - Piano Tuning & Repairs Wallace T.
