Many times someone wants an appraisal on an instrument they are interested in buying RIGHT NOW, and if I am booked solid for three weeks I will offer to do it sooner, but with the understanding that my son will accompany me out of necessity. I have never met with disapproval in a situation like that. Some customers that I have serviced regularly for years actually seem to enjoy meeting your child, because having seen you every 6 months for 15 years you have actually become good friends! I would never consider bringing my child along when tuning or repairing, though. Sometimes an appointment must be missed because of our children, and that is something I am willing to live with.
