[pianotech] frustrated

[tunerboy3 at comcast.net]

For me, I figure an hour for a tuning.  If the tuning takes me 1.5 hours then I go by my hourly rate.  If I get the tuning done in 1 hour and need to repair something, I use the same hourly rate charges for the repairs as I would for the tuning.  It doesn't matter as it comes out the same and in my opinion, it's the most fair way to charge and the easiest to keep track of.

I use tune lab.  Also have worn hearing aids for ten years, and that slows
me down as well.  So how do people bill their time when it runs
substantially over your expected time?
