<WBR>Charge him for a service call. My tuning fee is $110. A service call is $65. That's to do a minimum repair that takes less than 5 minutes. I had Sears come out to change the door on my refrigerator. I was told it would be $65. When the technician came out, he said it would be $175. I asked what happened to the $65. He said that was just to come out. It didn't include the cost of the repair. <br> <br> <div style="CLEAR: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT<br> Piano Tuner/Technician<br> Honolulu, HI<br> 808-349-2943<br> www.bleespiano.com<br> Author of <br> The Business of Piano Tuning<br> available from Potter Press<br> www.pianotuning.com</div> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Farrell <mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com><br> To: pianotech@ptg.org<br> Sent: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 9:55 am<br> Subject: Tune 1 String?<br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_2_f71a2cb6-8351-4467-9d1f-81d475ae185a> <div><FONT face=Arial>Got a call from a guy to tune one string that had been replaced 6 or 7 years ago, when the piano was last tuned.
