Hi, I do work for a music shop, minimally two days a week, the other times I have my own customers. I wont give my prices to save you economic/exchange rate differences but I get half of every tuning that I do outside and a flat rate per hour for time that I'm in the shop. I'm not taking the customers that I get given to tune for, unless offered. Dont bite the hand that feeds, honesty, integrity etc. Brian Lawson PTG Assc, MPT.
