The Christmas tuning thing has been great for me. I am currently a part-time tuner with a limited client base. There is an RPT in my area that has been referring a number of these "I need my piano tuned before..." calls to me because he is booked up. Including one church that called on Friday, needed piano tuned before Saturday afternoon; another church called mid-week needed 3 pianos tuned before Sunday (it turned out to be a 4 piano job). Regarding the comment about charging a premium for tuning after hours/weekends - have you ever needed a plumber or air conditioner/heater repairperson after hours? Can you say "pay out the wazoo?" -- Jerry Hunt Dallas, TX
