Recording Studio Tuning

[Don]

Hi Terry,

Your first post was unclear. Please note the word respectfully in my
orignal post. I was not trying to make anyone look foolish (though I have
sometimes felt offended). Don't blow a gasket--we have enough of that here
to last a lifetime already. And please do spell out all the facts. Thanks!

facts have not been spelled out? Are you suggesting that you would have
charged 1.5 times 3 tunings? Let's say you charge $75 for standard tuning
(that's my standard tuning fee). Are you suggesting that you would have
charged the guy $337.50 to tune a piano that was 5 cents off?

that is, 1.5 times my regular tuning fee of $75 plus 1.5 times my pitch
raise fee of $40. That came out to $172.50 for 1.5 hours of work. I can
live with that. I would hardly call that "3 tunings for the price of 1.5"
on very many rate sheets.
