Many businesses are seasonal and I guess piano service is no exception> Or is it? I picture you southern folk doing a slow, modest pace year round. Up here, with hot, humid summers and long, cold winters, 44% of my annual income is earned in four months, September through December. Here is a percentage breakdown of monthly units tuned in the past two years. Jan, 6.6% Feb, 8.5% Mar, 6.9% Apr, 8.5% May, 5.2% Jun, 7.2% Jul, 5.2% Aug, 8.0% Sep, 10.2% Oct, 7.8% Nov, 13.1% Dec, 12.8%. March can be full of surprises at times. In 1996 it was the second worst month but the following year ranked #3. February can be unpredictable, too. In 1966 it was dead last but ranked fourth in 2000, sending October skidding to #8. How do we all survive? John Lillico, RPT Oakville, Ontario, Canada
