A futile quandary. One of my fellow tech associates formerly subscribed to the list has asked for some feedback. A client has a Henry F. Miller grand which has a cracked plate strut. The owner knows the piano isn't worth rebuilding and ultimately plans to replace it, but might be interested in repairing it temporarily. What my colleague and I are discussing is using the cold-fix Lock-N-Stitch screws which have had a tremendous success rate. I would guess the repair process would take about an hour but would also require lowering and then raising the tension on the piano. In this type situation I would not ever consider placing any warranties on such a job. The customer understands but is considering trying it anyway. We were contemplating what to charge the owner for this service. Aside from the labor time there is a certain degree of "specialty services" that I think apply above and beyond a normal hourly rate. Any thoughts? Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
