Gene Upscale or not, most orchestras, both small and large, are having a cash flow problem. Yes you can take them to small claims, but the judgement only says you have a right to get paid. Getting the money will be another matter. If you do take them to small claims, you can bet you will not be asked to tune for them again in the future. Symphonies are supported be wealthy people, who sit on the board of directors of the symphony. Wealthy people have pianos, and wealthy people have wealthy friends with pianos, and they own business with lots of employees, etc. Do you get where I'm going with this? My suggestion is to just sit and wait, and support the local symphony. You'll loose a lot more than you'll gain.

They answer that they are having cash flow problems and would get back with you later. The second month passes and the situation will likely need to be resolved in small claims court. It is so tempting to let it be known publicly who they are. What would you do? Gene = -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
