In response to M. Farrell's reply to string deadness. I believe the best business practice is to give the customer the very best. If one offers inferior work then they become known as the tuner that will "rig" anything for a little bit of money. I'd rather not work on an instrument if the customer will not allow me to repair it to the best of my ability . I realize I am in a position to pick and choose work. I still believe to compromise on craftmanship and workmanship by using inferior materials is not in your best interest as a craftsman and businessman nor the customers best interest. With that kind of business practice you will manage to get all the "junk" tunings. I hope that I am known as the very best technician/tuner . Not that I am necessarily the cheapest and will repair anything....anyway. I only want to strive for the best I can be and I therefore must not be swayed by the customer to do inferior work just to save a little money. This is my business philosophy and its has worked pretty good. Tommy Black Birmingham, Ala Chapter
