Hi Ron, Why move it to the PTG list? Do the PTG set minimum workshop prices. Pricing policies affect us all whether we are members of an organization or not. Over here we do set minimum prices and we expect all members to adhere to them I believe that it is illegal in America to set minimum prices or is this another misconception we have ogf the U.S. Dale in my opinion is correct in over estimating for something he is unsure of. Personally I recondition bird cage Pianos (I must admit I love your descriptilon of overdampers) all the time and I find them a easy. However, if a custo9mer phoned me up tomorrow and asked me to restore her velem hinged wall climber I would difinitely over estimate the cost, as I know what a can of worms some of these pianos can be only having fully restored two Broadwood wall climbers I am not confident enough to give a straightforward estimate. Remember gentlemen and Ladies we came in to this profession to make a _profit_ from servicing pianos. Kind regards, Barrie. -- Barrie Heaton | Be Environmentally Friendly URL: http://www.airtime.co.uk/forte/piano.htm | To Your Neighbour The UK PIano Page | pgp key on request | HAVE YOUR PIANO TUNED
