<BR>Any advice on installing my first Dampp chaser system in a K&C Console?
<BR>It'll be the complete system. How much time, on average, should it take?
<BR>Also, I quoted about $250-275 to the customer, and he agreed. That would be
<BR>roughly $100 for me...is that in the ballpark of what other techs charge?
<BR>Thanks!

<BR>Hi Terry:
<BR>
<BR>An installation in an upright/vertical takes me roughly one hour. I am <BR>careful that it is a very neat job with no wires hanging haphazardly inside <BR>the piano and that everything is carefully explained to the customer <BR>including showing them how to fill the humidifier and add bacteriostat. <BR>Add the cost of the product and what your own markup is, and you are close <BR>to my figure. If you want more specifics, email me privately. My cost for <BR>a Grand application is higher since it takes me about two hours for that <BR>installation. </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"></BLOCKQUOTE>
