If this studio has a good piano, and a stable environment, I would
charge $1,800 for the whole deal. It would be senseless to invest this kind
of money if the piano is not well regulated and voiced,so I would suggest that
any work like that be done before the tracking week. ( and no, that set-up
work would not be part of the hourly fee that is charged for "being there".
Good work, if you can get it. Just remember, the customers here are buying
not only a tuning, but insurance. You are there so that there will not be any
problems, and you want to up to the task. You will be expected to be
infallible.
Anything that doesn't slow a session down is good, everything else is
bad.
