<DIV><FONT face=Arial>That's what I do most of the time, although sometimes when
it might be a future customer, and I didn't have to drive out of my way to get
there (maybe just a few blocks over from another appointment), and it only takes
five or ten minutes, I'll just suggest that they slip me a 20 and I'm on my
way.......</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is my how I charge for service calls, be it
tuning, consultation or repair or a combination there of. A .5 hour charge for
the service call, plus my time. So if I am at the house for 6 minutes, that
would be .5 plus .1 equals .6 hour charge. It works for me.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hello friends,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will be going to a new client in a few weeks. They have an
upright they will be selling, but a couple of the keys do not work. So
I will be going to repair them so she can sell it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I go on a service call, I don't charge any less than my tuning
fee. My question is, what if the only problem with this pianos keys
not working is a binding keyslip? Would it be ethical to still charge
my standard service call charge, whether I am there 5 minutes or one
hour?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Matthew</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
