Hello, Micro managing how often each piano type is serviced, and how long that service should take has dangerous potential to cripple us. We clearly don't agree, or even come close, on this. If that is in the formula, administrators could start to requiring techs to adhere to it. Examples of my fears: "You shall fully tune each piano faculty studio once weekly", "You shall fully tune for every performance, jury, audition, or other designated event", "A tuning shall take 1 hour (no more, no less)", "X number of services will go to this or that classification of pianos which will take this long" THIS WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE and the job would never get done! We must retain total freedom!! "Different strokes are for different folks!" Our time and resource budget must be our own! We all vary in skills, strengths and weaknesses, and efficiency for various tasks. THE RIGHT TO DO IT OUR PERSONAL WAY MUST NEVER BE INFRINGED. The formula must be written such that no administrator will attempt to legislate how a tech chooses to do his or her job. Also it should never be used to evaluate how a tech is performing. Most of us instinctively already do our best with the resources and abilities we have, both for ourselves and the schools. A strong concern, -Mike
