<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Richard,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, a thought. What happens to your new
referral customer. A friend who loves your work has told him you charge
$XX. Then you tell him sorry, for his piano, for whatever reason, it will
be $XXXXX. Doesn't have good flavor to me! Why not just average out
the price. Consider some "easy money" and others "hard work for the
money". Also, consider referring new calls w/spinets or whatever to a new
tech in your area. They would welcome "any" business. When I first
started and then later when I moved to a different area, I made it well known to
the other techs that I would gladly take any job that they didn't
want.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I'm thinking about pricing tunings based not only by pitch adjustment,but
also by piano type and age.</DIV>
<DIV>Spinets and pianos older than 20yrs, highest fee, nicer pianos less
etc.</DIV>
<DIV>With more pianos and limited time, I would rather tune pianos that I
could get better results with and less headaches.</DIV>
<DIV>Any thoughts?</DIV>
