[pianotech] minimum service charge

[Matthew Todd]

According to mapquest, it will only take me six minutes to get there from my previous location.

If all that's done is to remove the fallboard to remove an object, I will probably let this one slide.  She has given me several referrals!

It depends on how far you have to go and the time it takes to get there. For me,
I would not charge more than $40 for this if it took less than an hour to get
there. But i'm in a city with mass transit. If it took more than an hour to
get there, I would probably charge $60.
