List,

The FTC gets very upset about this kind of talk if someone complains 
and copies it to them. It would be best for this list if this topic 
were not discussed.

List;

A couple of tuner friends and I were discussing the average tuning 
rates in
our area and how no one had increased their fees in the last couple of 
years
and that maybe it was about time we did. Of course there are a lot of 
factors
involved in such a decision, with the quality of service not being the 
least
of them. We can, however, observe that in any given area prices do not 
seem
to vary to any great degree. We concluded that one way to help 
determine
where we stood on the scale was to find out what was being charged 
elsewhere,
which is the purpose for this post.
If the discussion of specific figures is offensive to anyone, I 
apologize. It
is also my understanding that guild members are not to discuss such 
things
due to antitrust laws, but I may be wrong about that.
The bottom line is that some phone calls could extract this 
information but
this way would seem to be more efficient and get a larger input.
In the Des Moines area where I operate, the going rate for a standard 
tuning
averages $50. I would be most interested in tuning prices from my 
surrounding
areas such as Omaha, Kansas City, Minneapolis and the Quad Cities.
If anyone feels more comfortable replying privately, that's fine.
Thanks

Dave Bunch
