Hi, everyone. I recently asked some questions to the piano teachers' list concerning tuning fees and pitch raising. One question I asked was this: "Would you or your students be more likely to have their piano serviced regularly" (I meant more often) "if they would receive a discount? (For instance 20% off if serviced every 6 months and 10% off if done every 12 months.) Or would it only be "nice", but if not available, would still probably get the same work done?" Here's a response from Linda in Arkansas: "I definitely would have my 2 pianos in my studio tuned at 3 month intervals IF I could receive a discount. I just can't afford more than twice a year. I've often wished that techs would take into consideration that individual teachers refer as many as 50 - 100 people to them for tuning jobs annually. I believe that the parents of my students would have their pianos tuned more often with a discount also. I insist on a tuning at least once a year, but I know of a few who don't follow through on this." That's one response. Have a great Easter! Wally
