I know of at least one tech on the list whose hourly rate is the same as
<br>
his tuning fee. He can tune a piano in about an hour, so he
"works" on <br>
them at the same rate! Wish I could get that! :-) <br><br>

question, Hourly rates should be worked out in relation to your expenses,
overheads and expected income divided by the total hours you want to work
per year.<br>
<br>
Setting hourly rates to that of the next guy is doing great disservice to
the industry<br>
