Hi Ray---You are in a great position; you need to capitalize on it.  Because
you're willing and able to do complete piano service, you can charge more
than anyone else.  What's your hourly rate? Charge that; you can give a
discount for being in one place all day, or two days---say, 20%.

Example: 20 hours @ $75.00/hr= $1500.00
                    or
         2 long days @ $600/day= $1200.00

Congratulations---this is the kind of thing I'm talking about.  Become "the
guy" in your area by offering complete piano service; be a Golden Rule
person, and it's like shooting fish in a barrel to make good money.
