I was asked to tune a piano on stage for a musical production during
rehearsal/preview week. It had to be tuned after 11PM. I =
charged
them time and a half, or in other words, my tuning fee plus 50%. =
They
were not a regular customer. Their regular tuner wouldn't do =
it.
They never called me again.<br>
