pricing

[Mike Kurta]

    I think a markup on parts at double your cost is customary with most
technicians.  As far a keytops, I do a lot of keytop replacements and I
suggest $100 over their cost as a figure to charge the customer.  This
covers the second trip to replace the keys, and possibly some leveling and
minor regulation.  A lot depends on your area, the customer and the piano.
