Les, Brian, ET AL My customers are constantly amazed my price hasn't gone up recently. The last time we changed them was in 1996 just after my dad died. We went from $65 to $90 in one fell swoop as we hadn't changed prices in years then either. A few people were surprised when we told them the new price, but most never said _anything_, even the head of the conference center where we have taken care of 20 pianos for the last 18 years never blinked an eye (and he's _always_ looking for a bargain). So don't get yourself all worried, today people _expect_ prices to rise. We live in one of the most expensive areas of the country, near "Silicon Valley" in CA. The house next door, which sold for $438,000 two years ago, just sold again two months ago for $990,000! I guess we should be charging more like $200 by now, based on those figures. Too bad tunings aren't real estate! Diane _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
