The Randy Potter course (which your website says you took) has a regulation checklist. At the end of the checklist is a list of suggested item numbers to do for a "quick regulation." And of course remember to iterate thru (I mean through) the items as one thing changes another changes another.<br> <br>Not having any real-world experience with regulating when I "sold" my first few regulation jobs, I offered to do them free. I knew the customer would have an improved piano and I would have the real experience. This is exactly the same thing most of us do when we start tuning. I didn't feel right about charging $400 or more for an amateur job, which is what I (correctly) figured I would produce. Again, I made significant improvements, but the pianos were not ready for the concert stage.<br> <br>Paul Bruesch<br>Stillwater, MN<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jul 5, 2008 at 7:44 AM, Matthew Todd <<a href="mailto:toddpianoworks@att.net">toddpianoworks@att.net</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div> <div>I am considering a regulation job on a clients piano.  I noticed in "G" Piano Works Labor Repair Guide a partial regulation and a major regulation.  The partial regulation takes half the time of the major.  What would you reckon the difference would be between the two?</div> <div> </div> <div>Is a regulation a regulation, or can there be different levels of service with this particular job, depending on what the customer wants to pay for?  I want to give my client a quote for this, so I was wondering if I can give him several options for this service.</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>Thank you,</div> <div>Matthew</div></div></blockquote></div><br>
