Excuse me, brother, but you’re out of your ever-lovin’ mind not=
to charge for the pitch raise; forget about the “time;” think a=
bout 1. The tremendous wear on your body, and 2. The expertise needed to acc=
omplish<BR>
2 quick raises, putting your hammer on every note, then a fine tuning. &nbs=
p;Are you nuts?<BR>
<BR>
Here’s what my charge would be (remember, I get top dollar in a major=
urban area):<BR>
<BR>
2 pitch raises @ 75.00 150.00<BR>
Tune A440  =
; 150=
.00<BR>
Total &nb=
sp; &=
nbsp; _____<BR>
&nb=
sp; &=
nbsp;  =
; $300.00<BR>
<BR>
That’s hard, hard work, and I want and deserve to get PAID for hard w=
ork.<BR>
<BR>
With all due respect, Robin, you should take a look at what you’re gi=
ving away. The true payoff IS<BR>
the beauty you create and enable, and the possibility of inspiring a child;=
that said, your type of expertise, in any other realm, would be much more e=
xpensive.<BR>
<BR>
Hope this helps.....<BR>
