Piano Replacement Formula

[Michael Jorgensen]

Hi Fred and All,
     The formula could work as a piano replacement formula after the
actual workload number is calculated,

Could work sort of like this,

  Assume instruments last 30 years for a base number,

 (30 - Age) x Condition x Quality x Climate x Usage x Acceptable
Standards x actual workload = remaining life expectancy.


The "actual workload" multiplier for an institution where 1.25
technicians are needed, but only one will exist, would be 0.8 since they
have 1/5 less that what the formula recommends.
