Caster cups, especially the kind with felt bottoms (from Schaff, for
when there are hardwood floors); same but smaller ones for uprights
(get the modified pry bar designed by Yat-Lam Hong to lift the piano
when installing); cleaning/polishing products (e.g., Cory); catalogs
like Jansen's to show people when they have a need for leg dollies, a
cover, a lamp, an adjustable bench for their child, etc.<br>

by now, I am on the front end of my
piano tech career and trying to come up with a business plan for when I
am
doing this full-time. My question today is what products have you
found
to be the most marketable and appealing to your tuning clientele?
Which
products do you try to always have on hand (and how many do you keep in
stock)
because of their popularity? How much to mark-up do you put on the
products you sell?</span></font></p>
