<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I thought I was the lowest priced in my area until I met a person through e-mail who stated that their tuner charged the same rate. Both this tuner and I are the lowest, but not drasticly, about 5 dollars on the other tuner's low end, and 15 from the hightest charging tuner. The hard part is getting customers. I've e-mailed churches, schools etc. and everyone says that they have a tuner. I wonder if my area is too small to accomodate more than 8 tuners. I know that there are at least 8. </FONT></DIV>
