If done right, a bench regulation will result in very little time a the 
piano. All of what Terry just said about the "comforts" of doing the 
regulation in the privacy of your own shop, is a big reason I NEVER do a 
complete regulation in the piano. Yes, I do the final one in the piano, but 
as I said, if you do it right, you shouldn't have to spend more than an hour 
tweaking a note here and there.

Terry, I don't understand your comment about the monetary reward. Your 
statement implies you don't charge as much for "in the shop" work as you do 
for "in the home" work. You should be charging the same for both. They both 
take up time, and all you get paid for is your time.
