In a message dated 98-09-18 08:19:39 EDT, you write: << They want me to tune four pianos together in four hours........... BUT........... The REVEREND has already complained about my taking four hours to tune because they have to pay rent on the auditorium during all time it's "in use", so probably doesn't even imagine paying full price for four tunings, and probably can't understand why a moved piano won't stay tuned the very next day. What would you do????????? Thanx Leslie Bartlett >> Tell him I need 8 hours to tune the pianos, and if they don't want to pay, to get another tuner. Don't set yourself up for an ulcer, trying to work too fast to tune the pianos in less time that you usually take, just because they don't want to pay for the auditorium while you tune the pianos. I guess they don't want to pay for the room while it is being set up, or the lights are fixed, etc. If they want the pianos to be in tune, then that should be considered part of the "set up" for the concert.
