    I agree, Terry, but it's sometimes just unsatisfying to work on =
these. Once in a while is OK, but man, when I started out, it seemed =
like that was all I was working on; pianos which hadn't been competently =
worked on in 10, 20 years. You can only do two of them a day, but =
they're profitable.=20
    On the other hand, think of how bad dentists must have it when =
someone comes in who hasn't had any oral hygiene in twenty years. Think =
about how profitable that would be for the dentist!  ( But think of how =
disgusting that would be for the hygienist.)
    Forgive me folks, I'm in a weird mood tonight. =20

  I disagree Joe. I love those once every 10 year folks! I drive there =
once and make between $100 and $200. With the every year or six months =
crowd, I'd have to drive there two or three times to make that!

  A little Emerson (Aeolian) spinet gem this morning for example. Spent =
15 minutes trying to talk the lady into junking the trashy little thing, =
but she explained to me that "it's only for a five-year-old". So I glued =
about 40 hammer felts back on, raised the pitch 100 cents in two =
pitch-raise-passes (just hoping the VERY RUSTY strings would not snap), =
and tuned the little rascal (I really want to use more colorful terms =
here, and tuned is not really the right work either). $210. Thank ya =
ma'am! She even commented that if other people worked a diligently as I, =
more consumers would be happy with the services they receive! How 'bout =
that!

  The once-every-ten-years crowd? We're happy to work with ya!
