List, In my Bluthner pedals post, I mentioned that the dealer had asked me about the possiblility of doing some store work. What he's looking for is someone who is competent to regulate, voice, etc. There's others who can do the floor tunings but he's had trouble finding someone good enough to work on the types of pianos he carries: Bluthner, Beckstein, Bosendorfer, Seiler, Petrof and a few others. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to determine my fees in a situation like this? Percentage of my tuning fee? Hourly rate? Daily minimum if I spend the entire day? Other? I want to keep it low enough to ensure that he'll have me do the work (I think it'd be enjoyable) but high enough so he'll think of me as a professional technician and not a $15.00 a piano floor tuner. Any thoughts will be appreciated as this will probably be discussed sometime this coming week. Thanks.
