In 26 years as a college tech, I think I've had my hand in or on almost every orch and band instrument, including repair and regulation of a concert harp.

My "favorite" however is when a music education prof got someone with a master key to deposit three autoharps in my room. One was almost OK, but the other two each had some strings which were wound the wrong way on the tuning pins. I left them that way. ;-} Good example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing. You could try telling your customers that you have little knowledge of instruments other than pianos and don't know what evil may await you in their decrepit little, er... ah... charming little zither/dulcimer/autoharp/guitar/etc...
