square grand

[John Ross]

Hi Patricia,
I agree with all the other comments.
I would also wear a back support.
I got a customer to hit the notes for me once, and it helped a bit.
Make sure you have the proper tip, in case it is not square.
I don't know if twice your normal rate is enough.
Make sure you tell them at the start, that they will probably be
disappointed with the end result, if they were expecting it to
sound like a real piano.
Good luck.
Regards,

P.S. I turned down the last one, because I swore I would never
do another one, after the last one I did.
